Buckeye Pretzel Bites
A take on the classic Buckeye recipe. The same delicious peanut butter mixture sandwiched between two salty pretzels and dipped in chocolate. What is better than that?

- Sandwich peanut butter balls in between two pretzel squares.
- Dip pretzel sandwiches diagonally into melted chocolate and place onto parchment paper lined baking tray.
- Place tray of peanut butter pretzel bites into freezer for 5-10min to become solid.
