These Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites feature pretzel sandwiches filled with a creamy, sweet peanut butter mixture and dipped in chocolate. A quick, easy no-bake treat.

Peanut butter pretzel bites are one of my favorite ways to satisfy that chocolate peanut butter craving. They’re sweet and salty with the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter. Not to mention perfectly bite-sized which makes them great for sharing! They’re similar to my Rolo pretzel bites, swapping the Rolo filling for a creamy peanut butter mixture.

Why We Love These Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Peanut butter & chocolate combo. We LOVE chocolate peanut butter in this house. I make chocolate peanut butter brownies and no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars pretty regularly. So naturally, these peanut butter pretzel bites dipped in chocolate quickly became a favorite!
No-bake. My favorite part is that these pretzel bites require 0 baking. Just a mixer and a microwave. They’re easy to whip up anytime without turning the oven on, which I love.
Easy to customize. Another fun thing about these peanut butter pretzel bites is that they are easy to customize and decorate. Keep them simple like I did here or add crushed candy bars, festive sprinkles, or any other fun topping.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s an overview of the ingredients needed to make these pretzel bites. Scroll down to the recipe card below for the exact measurements.

Pretzels – I like to use mini pretzel twists. You can use any pretzel shape you like as long as a sandwich can be made out of them.
Creamy peanut butter – Use regular creamy peanut butter over crunchy so it blends nicely with the other ingredients. Keep in mind that all natural peanut butters, even “creamy” ones, tend to separate and have a gritty texture.
Butter – Salted or unsalted works here, though I used salted. It should be at room temperature.
Sugar
Salt – Helps to enhance the other flavors.
Powdered sugar – Sweetens and stabilizes the “dough”.
Chocolate chips – I used equal parts dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. Feel free to use all dark chocolate or even semi-sweet chocolate chips. I think dark chocolate pairs nicely with the sweet peanut butter mixture.

How To Make Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

These pretzel bites are so easy and fun to make. No baking required! The printable instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

Pretzel sandwiches with peanut butter filling on a baking sheet

Prep. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay 30 pretzels on the baking sheet.
Make the filling. Beat the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and salt on medium until the sugar is dissolved and the texture is smooth and creamy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
Assemble. Place 1″ balls of the “dough” in the middle of each pretzel. Add a second pretzel on top and gently squeeze to create a 1″ thick sandwich.
Chill. Place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Dip in chocolate. Microwave the chocolate chips in 15 second increments, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Dip each sandwich halfway in the chocolate, allow excess to drip off, and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat with each pretzel bites. Add sprinkles or other desired toppings.
Chill. Place the baking sheet back in the fridge for 15 minutes until the chocolate is set, or until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Here are a few tips for making these chocolate peanut butter pretzel bites.

Final quantity may vary. This recipe makes approximately 30 sandwiches. You may end up with a few more or less sandwiches, depending on the size of the peanut butter ball, or the size of the pretzels used.
Dust with powdered sugar. When adding the dough ball to the pretzels, it’s helpful to dust each one in powdered sugar so it doesn’t stick to your hands.
Keep chilled. These need to remain chilled until right before serving as the peanut butter will become very soft and not hold together well if biting the sandwich in half. It will taste the same, but at room temp, it’s best to pop the entire sandwich into your mouth.’
Other chocolate options. These can be dipped in dark, milk, semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, melting wafers or Almond Bark.

Decorating Ideas

One of the fun things about these peanut butter pretzel bites is that there are a million ways to decorate them! Keep them simple as I did in this recipe by dipping them in chocolate and adding sprinkles or get creative. Here are a few ideas:

Heath Toffee Bits
Crushed candy bars, like Butterfingers
Crushed Oreos or other cookies
Waffle cone or graham cracker crumbs
Chopped nuts
Shredded coconut
Flaky sea salt
Drizzled melted chocolate

It’s also fun to customize them to a holiday. Try crushed candy canes or peppermints, colorful sprinkles or edible sugars and glitter to fit the holiday season.
