Okay, let me just start by saying I thought this would be a simple & relatively quick recipe. It most definitely was neither. The peanut butter mixture was next to impossible to roll, & no matter how much extra confectioner's sugar I added, would not stop sticking to my hands. On top of that, the chocolate wouldn't melt - & I even started by doing it the hard way, in a makeshift double boiler! I then resorted to the microwave, where it decided to cook into some other lifeform. Sigh...
In spite of (or maybe because of) how hard they were to make, these peanut-butter-chocolate pretzel bites were scrumptious. The peanut butter & chocolate combination, complemented by the salty & crunchy twist added by the pretzel, was simply to die for. They remind me of my ex-favorite candy bar, Take 5 - no longer my favorite because the Take 5-makers decided to add chopped peanuts to the mix...no thank you! My sisters & I turn up our noses! I made so many that I decided to share with friends & family, & they all raved about them & couldn't stop eating them (thanks Patti, Stephanie, Sheri, & Chris)! So if you have a couple of hours & want to take on a mini cooking project, this recipe is for you. It will be a hit, even if no one realizes how much effort it took!
