Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites
Healthy edible peanut butter cookie dough sandwiched between two crunchy pretzels and dipped in a layer of chocolate. Sweet, salty, nutty, and crunchy....what a combo! These are a great no bake snack or healthy treat for any day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut butter of choice (peanut or cashew work best)
- 1 cup almond or oat flour
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt only use if nut butter is unsalted!
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- About 100 pretzels
- Sprinkles of choice optional
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until dough forms and is well combined. (Note: your dough should be sticky, if it's too dry, add a tad more peanut butter or maple syrup and combine the mixture again)
- Roll dough into 1 tsp size balls and sandwich between two pretzels. Place on the lined baking sheet and repeat until all dough is used.
- Pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes or so.
- While the pretzel bites are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 second increments at time. Stir the mixture ever 30 seconds until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Dip one side of the pretzel bites into the chocolate so half of the pretzel bite is covered with chocolate. Place bites back on the baking sheet and top with a shake or two of sprinkles (optional). Repeat for all bites and pop back in the freezer to allow chocolate to fully harden. Serve at room temperature and store in either the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Since these bites are a no-bake treat, make sure the flour you use is safe to eat raw. Regular bleached flour would need to be heat treated prior to using in this recipe. Depending on the flour you use, the taste and consistency of the dough may be altered slightly too. Almond flour is great because it isn't as absorbent as coconut and oat flour are, but all 3 are safe to consume raw in this recipe!
