    Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels are the perfect salty and sweet treat. The pretzels stuffed with peanut butter add delicious flavor and a creamy texture.

    dark chocolate covered pretzels stuffed with peanut butter

    There's nothing better than a good salty and sweet combo. And when you add peanut butter to the mix, it's even better than you could have ever imagined!

    The peanut butter filling is mixed with protein powder to not only thicken it but also to leave you more satisfied. The added protein will keep you full for a longer amount of time while still tasting delicious. But don't worry, it doesn't overpower that peanut butter flavor!

    These little bites of heaven will become your favorite afternoon pick-me-up or sweet treat for dessert after dinner.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Mini Pretzels - I use gluten-free pretzels so that everyone in my family can eat them but you can use your go-to regular pretzels.
    • Dark Chocolate Chips - I go into detail on my top 3 chocolate that I use in this recipe and for all of my baking. You don't have to use dark chocolate, it's just my preference!
    • Coconut Oil - The coconut oil helps to thin out the chocolate when melting while also keeping it smooth and creamy.
    • Peanut Butter - I highly suggest using an all natural creamy peanut butter as it combines perfectly with the protein powder.
    • Vanilla Protein Powder - This is one of my go-to protein powders for baking. It doesn't have a weird texture and tastes delicious!
    • Flaky Sea Salt - Not mandatory (but should be)! It helps bring out a delicious chocolate flavor and adds the perfect amount of saltiness to balance out the sweet.
    Ingredients to Make Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels Stuffed with Peanut Butter

    What is the best chocolate to use for this recipe?

    You can use any chocolate when making this recipe. However, my preference is always to use a dark chocolate. Some of my favorite chocolate chips are Enjoy Life chocolate Chips, Hu Chocolate Baking Chips and these chocolate chips from Whole Foods!

    How to Make Peanut Butter Stuffed Pretzels Dipped in Chocolate

    1. Gather all of your ingredients together
    2. Spread the pretzels out flat on parchment paper
    3. In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter and protein powder
    4. Scoop about ½ tbsp of the mixture and roll into a ball
    5. Place the ball on a pretzel on the tray
    6. Grab another pretzel and press it on to the peanut butter ball until it flattens
    7. Repeat until you've used up all of the peanut butter dough
    8. Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil.
    9. Dip each stuffed pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate
    10. Place back onto the parchment paper and repeat
    11. Top each pretzel with flaky sea salt if desired
    12. Put in the fridge for 1 hour to set
    13. Enjoy!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What pretzels should I use for this recipe?

    You can use any mini pretzel that is in the classic pretzel shape. My favorite to use are these gluten free pretzels.

    What protein powder should I use?

    I love to use vanilla protein powder since it doesn't overpower the peanut butter flavor. However, you can also use unflavored or chocolate protein powder if that's what you have on hand!

    Do I have to use protein powder?

    You don't have to but it's what makes the peanut butter balls the perfect texture for molding. If you don't have or don't want to use protein powder, you can also use powdered sugar to get the same texture. Start by adding ¼ cup to the peanut butter then 1 tbsp at a time after that if needed.

    How do I know the Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels have been in the fridge long enough?

    The dark chocolate should be solid and come off of the parchment paper easily. You'll be able to hold it in your hand without the chocolate melting.

    How should these be stored?

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!
