Valentine Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Valentine Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

2 1/2 - cups confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
1/2 - cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 - cup + 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 - teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - (12 oz) pkg chocolate almond bark, I prefer plymouth pantry
pretzels
valentine sprinkles

In a large bowl combine the confectioners sugar, butter, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix well to form a dough (you may need to add a bit more confectioners sugar).

Using a small cookie scoop to make the little balls. Scoop out one scoopful of peanut butter mixture and then break in half. Roll each half into one ball. (I found this to be the perfect size).

Sandwich each one between two whole pretzels. When all the balls are rolled and successfully sandwiched, stick the whole tray in the freezer for about 45 minutes.

Melt the chocolate almond bark in the microwave for 3 minutes on the defrost setting. Continue in 3 minute intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Remove the pretzel sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way into the melted chocolate. Add festive sprinkles.

When you have finished dipping all the pretzels, return the tray to the freezer to set up completely. Store the peanut butter bites in the refrigerator until serving time.
