Ingredients
48 mini pretzels
24 mini peanut butter cups, unwrapped
½ cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
Optional: flaky sea salt or festive sprinkles for topping
Optional Twists

Instructions
Assemble Base
Place half the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Top each with a peanut butter cup.
Warm & Press
Bake at 350°F for 3–4 minutes, just until the peanut butter cups start to soften. Remove from oven and immediately press another pretzel gently on top to sandwich.
Cool
Let the bites set at room temperature or place in the fridge for faster cooling.
Drizzle
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth. Drizzle over the bites using a spoon or piping bag. Add sea salt or sprinkles if using.
Set & Serve
Allow chocolate to harden before serving or storing in an airtight container.
