Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Dessert Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PRETZELS

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and 3 teaspoons oil; stir until smooth. Dip pretzels in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets to set., Melt peanut butter chips and remaining oil; transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Cut a small hole in a corner of bag; drizzle over pretzels. Allow to set. Store in airtight containers.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL DESSERT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the pretzels, granulated sugar, and butter. Evenly press the mixture into an ungreased 13×9″ baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then let cool for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping until well-combined, and gently spread it over the pretzel crust.
• In a large bowl, combine the cold milk and pudding mixes, and whisk until no large clumps remain, about 3 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Gently spread the pudding over the peanut butter layer. Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping.
• Press whole pretzels into the top of the whipped topping. Microwave a few tablespoons of additional peanut butter and drizzle over top. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and peanuts, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PRETZEL-PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, pretzel crumbs, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter and stir together until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth; two intervals should be enough. Mix to blend, then spread over the peanut butter-pretzel layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
