Thanks for still coming back tonight even though I am gross and don’t wash my water bottle. On second thought, after reading your comments – neither do you! I got many questions as to whether or not I am going to start drinking coffee again. I think I’m going to stick with one cup every once in a while since I’ve already gone through the caffeine withdrawal, and it was not pretty at all. I’m actually enjoying my lemon water in the morning! I want each and every one of you who told me this might also be “your problem” to keep me updated! Please email me when you are done experimenting, and I promise to keep everyone updated as well.
Tonight’s guest post comes from Liz @ Blog is the New Black. Liz always has great recipes, not to mention her photos are gorgeous! This recipe she is sharing with us today is my kind of dessert!
Hey, readers! I’m Liz and I write over in my little corner of cyberspace at Blog is the New Black, where I share recipes and anecdotes about life in the ‘burbs with my witty garbage disposal boyfriend, Lloyd. Although I am neither a vegetarian nor do I eat gluten-free, I still frequent Chelsey’s blog because she’s adorable and funny.
Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite desserts (or in my case, snacks!) which also happens to be the most viewed recipe on my site! I know Chelsey has a soft spot for peanut butter, so this just seemed fitting.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
From Martha Stewart Living
Print this recipe!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup, plus 1 tbsp confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon room temperature unsalted butter*
- 1 cup pretzels, crushed*
- 5 ounces melted milk chocolate*
Directions
- Stir together peanut butter, confectioners sugar, unsalted butter, the crushed pretzels.
- Roll into 1" balls. Freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt chocolate over low heat. Dip balls into melted milk chocolate, and refrigerate until set.
(*edit to add by Chelsey: You could easily make this recipe gluten free and vegan by using gluten free pretzels, Earth Balance for the butter, and dark chocolate in place of the milk!)
Question: What’s your favorite chocolate and peanut butter combination?

I was just thinking to myself that you could probably use those in this recipe… they really are delicious
Wow, I’m so trying those! Thanks for sharing!
oh my these look A-MAZINGGG. Peanut butter and choc. are the best together! I love Braums Reeses mix in with chocolate frozen yogurt!!
Ahhhmazing! Great guest post!
PS - Chelsey, I tagged you for one of those “just for fun” blogger awards on my blog today. It’s The Lovely Blogger Award - one of those “write seven things about yourself” type deals. Just FYI!
that looks amazing…..but only if it was stuffed with almond butter instead of pb
I am an AB fanatic and dislike PB immensely…..but thanks for the recipe!!
::gasp::
I featured her recipe for this on my blog a couple weeks ago, because , how could you not?!! Amazing! Now Im really wishing I would have already made these by now, I need too!! Yummy!!!!!
Those look absolutely incredible. I need them now:) Anything with PB and chocolate is a win in my book.
Peanut M&M’s…so good!! Come to find out that when my mom was pregnant with me that was all she craved. Huh…how fitting!
Oh sssssnap! I can’t wait to make these my mouth is drooling alreadyyy
Mmm, I can’t choose just one favorite PB & choc recipe…maybe in a smoothie? or peanut butter brownies?
OMG!!! I’m dying over these.
this reminds me of a TJ’s treat I had once: chocolate-covered pb pretzels. Only better because there’s more peanut butter. I like.
I love the salty/sweet combo, and pretzels are the perfect match for PB & chocolate. I made Billy some easy homemade PB cups for his birthday and now he requests them all the time. So good - and I love them straight from the freezer.
Oh my. These are insane! I can’t wait to try them, I’m making a goodie box for my sister-in-law’s birthday and this will be one of her treats!! Thanks for sharing these!
Well don’t those just look fabulous!
I love the salty sweet combination.
I think I would make mine with dark choco.
o.m.g. those look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! .. I gave up pb for lent .. I have to make these easter morning!
reeces pb cups. so simple and yummy. especially as i can just pick them up from the store hahah!
I just licked my monitor.
Chocolate has replaced Jelly
Mmm, those look amazing … awesome combination!
those look incredible!!
omg those look amazing and simple to make!! I think I just found my new favorite dessert.
These look delicious!!! I like how you paired it with the pink sprinkles too
liz these look great!!!!
great tag team post, ladies!
These look amazing! I love the sweet+salty combo.
Wow. Oh. Wow. It’s like you combined all my favorite things into one AMAZING recipe!!! I can’t WAIT to try these. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t like these?!
Um, THAT would be my favorite combination. I love pretzel M&M’s and those peanut butter stuffed pretzels. I am so making this!!
I believe anything can be covered in chocolate and peanut butter and it will be delicious
Amazing! These look so good! I definitely want to try these out with soy nut butter.
I am so making these! But only when I have someone to share them with
Otherwise I can guarantee they will not last more than a few hours around me hahaha
bite size yumminess are sooooo dangerous!
Oh my stars. Those look amazing. Bookmarking this post so I can make them as soon as my month of no sweets is over!
I know it is only 8:45 in the morning but I want one of these!! Saving this recipe!!
I made these last summer and LOVE them. But they are like crack. Almost TOO good!! My favorite combo is probably plain old Reese’s!!
That is definitely my kind of dessert, too! No baking or kneading required! Now I have a chocolate/PB craving and it’s only 10am- uh oh.
Those look so good! My husband’s a sucker for anything peanut butter-chocolate. I think a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate syrup would even make him happy.
crazy small world - I just wrote a guest post for What Katie’s Baking and included this recipe! LOVE these guys.
Mmm yum! Such a creative recipe. They would be perfect for a barbecue. They are elegant but simple, I like it!
Oh Liz, you never cease to amaze me! Love these.
that looks AMAZING!! the sprinkles make it look even better.

Peanut butter and Chocolate. Best. Combo. Ever. I am seriously salivating and can’t wait to make these!
i combined crushed pretzels, pb and coconut oil - amazing!!
Love these! Thanks for reminded me that I still need to get my butt up and make some!!
My favorite Chocolate and Peanut Butter Combination is Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder in my oats, with a dollop of Peanut Butter on top! Best thing EVER!
Your bites look incredible!
Your chocolate covered dough balls are sounding pretty dang good right now. Typical since I gave up chocolate.
