Hey, y'all! If you grew up in the south, you probably grew up eating peanut butter balls. I'm excited to share a recipe with y'all today that takes that recipe to a new level: my Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls! The same great, sweet flavor with the saltiness of pretzels - it's a match made in heaven!
Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls
Ingredients: Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls
- 4 c. pretzels
- ¾ c. peanut butter, plus 3 tbsp., divided
- 6 tbsp. powdered sugar
- 6 oz. chocolate
How to Make Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add pretzels, ¾ cup peanut butter, and powdered sugar into bowl of food processor. Blend until dough comes together.
- Portion out 1 tablespoon of dough. Press, form, and roll into ball. Place balls onto prepared baking sheet.
- Heat chocolate in microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue heating 10-15 seconds or more until smooth.
- Using 2 forks, place ball into chocolate, flipping to coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off through the fork. Place back onto prepared baking sheet. Continue with remaining balls.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of peanut butter in microwave for about 20 seconds. Peanut butter should be smooth, but not completely melted or liquid. Place into one corner of ziptop-style bag. Cut the very tip of corner, just enough to pipe peanut butter through. Pipe each ball with peanut butter. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

- You can substitute chocolate chips or wafers, just follow melting instructions. You might need to add a small amount of vegetable oil to get the right consistency.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
