CARAMEL CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BITES (LIKE TAKE 5)



Caramel Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites (Like Take 5) image

These taste a lot like the Take 5 candy bars, which are my hubby's favorite. The dipping chocolate can be a bit messy and time consuming, but it is worth it! Make the bunch and share or freeze to have a constant supply!

PEANUT BUTTER, CARAMEL & PRETZEL BITES



Peanut Butter, Caramel & Pretzel Bites image

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

Square Pretzels
15 Unwrapped Caramels
Peanut Butter, creamy or crunchy - your choice!
White Melting Chocolate
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Candy sprinkles or colored sugar.

Steps:

  • Place 60 unbroken square pretzels on your work surface. Turn each unwrapped caramel on its side and slice in half. This should give you two square caramels per piece for a total of 30. Place each half on an empty pretzel. Continue doing this until all 15 caramels are cut in half and placed on pretzels. Cook caramels on pretzels in the microwave for 5 seconds and press caramel into pretzel. If caramel will not press into pretzel, cook for additional 5 seconds. Caramel should not be melted, just soft enough to press into the pretzel so they stick together. You'll need to do this in batches. On remaining 30 pretzels, smear each one with peanut butter. Press a peanut butter half pretzel into a caramel half pretzel. Do this to all. You should have 30 peanut butter pretzel sandwiches at this point. Melt chocolate according to package directions. Add vegetable oil to thin the chocolate slightly after it's melted. Place pretzel sandwiches into white chocolate and with a fork gently pick each one up and shake it gently to remove excess chocolate. Place Pretzel bites on wax paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat to cool and dry. Sprinkle candy bits, sprinkles or colored sugar on top of each one as you finish, before they dry. Repeat until all 30 pretzel bites are dipped. Allow to dry fully and devour!
