Description
These Chocolate Covered Nutella Pretzel Bites are made with bite sized pretzels sandwiched around Nutella filling and dipped in your choice of flavored candy coating. It’s an easy and indulgent treat!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2–3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 60 mini pretzels
- 8 oz vanilla almond bark (or peanut butter, chocolate, white chocolate baking chips)
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Combine softened butter and Nutella in a medium sized bowl.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until it forms a dough. Dough will be sticky, but you can add more powdered sugar if it’s too sticky to work with. Add up to an additional 1/4 cup powdered sugar, if needed to thicken the dough.
- Roll dough into about 30 balls. Place the balls on parchment paper as you make them. The balls will be kind of soft, but will firm up nicely in the refrigerator.
- Refrigerate dough balls for about 10-15 minutes.
- Sandwich dough balls between two pretzels and place back on parchment paper in refrigerator.
- Refrigerate the pretzel bites while you melt your vanilla almond bark (or baking chips) in the microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip pretzels bites halfway into melted vanilla almond bark (or baking chips) and place back on parchment paper.
- Add sprinkles, if desired. Allow bites to dry and store in the refrigerator until just before serving.
Notes
I used half vanilla almond bark and half peanut butter baking chips for dipping my bites. Just so you know, the peanut butter chips are much thicker when melted. It may seem too thick for dipping, but it works fine as long as your bites are cool and firm.
