Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel Bundles
- 13 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened To Room Temperature
- 3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 18 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 3 ounces, weight Small Pretzel Snaps (3 Ounces If Roughly 40-48 Pretzels)
- 6 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate Chips
- 13 cups Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt
- In the bowl of your stand mixer with paddle attachment fixed, cream together the peanut butter and butter.
- Slow the mixer to the lowest setting and gradually mix in the confectioners sugar.
- Once the confectioners sugar is partially integrated, turn the mixer to the medium setting and mix until the sugar is completely mixed in.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon and nutmeg and mix again to combine.
- Set aside.
- With a small spoon or rubber spatula, take one pretzel and smear about 1/2 a teaspoon of peanut butter filling on one side.
- Top with another pretzel and press lightly to seal.
- Place on a piece of parchment paper.
- Repeat this step for the rest of the pretzels (you should have about 20-24 sandwiches when all is said and done).
- Once you have created all of your sandwiches, bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer over medium-low heat, and place a glass bowl on top (make sure its heat-safe) to create a double boiler.
- Make sure the saucepan is deep enough so that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Combine the chocolate chips and the chocolate hazelnut spread in the glass bowl.
- Using a rubber spatula stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove from the heat once melted.
- Immediately start dipping your sandwiches halfway into the chocolate mixture and place back on the parchment.
- Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and repeat this step for the rest of the sandwiches.
- Let the chocolate harden completely and then serve or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For best results, refrigerate.
- Enjoy!
