Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- ½ cup powdered icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream or milk
- ⅔ cup pretzels, coarsely crushed
- ½ cup salted peanuts, chopped
- 1½ cups dark chocolate (about 150g)
- 1½ cups white chocolate (about 150g)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered icing sugar, and cream or milk. Mix until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the crushed pretzels and chopped salted peanuts to create a slightly chunky mixture.
- Shape the Candies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate separately in heatproof bowls using a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for gentle melting.
- Coat the Candies: Dip half of the peanut butter balls in the melted dark chocolate and the other half in the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated candies back on the parchment-lined tray. For a decorative touch, drizzle the alternate chocolate (dark over white, white over dark) over the top.
- Set the Candies: Allow the coated candies to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the candies are set, transfer them to a serving dish or store them in an airtight container. Enjoy these sweet and salty treats anytime!
