Dipped Peanut Butter Snowflakes Pretzels Food

SNOWFLAKE PRETZELS

Steps:

• Put a sheet of baking parchment or a non-stick tray liner on a baking tray. Melt the chocolate or candy melts carefully in a microwave or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water - don't let any water get into the bowl or allow the base of it to touch the water. Turn off the heat but leave the bowl on the pan. Add the pretzels and stir well.
• Lift the pretzels out of the chocolate with a fork, shaking them a little so the excess chocolate drips off, then put them on the tray and in the freezer for 5 mins to set. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate again, then lay four at a time together on the tray and push them together, with the pointy ends in the centre, to make a snowflake shape. Add a blob more chocolate with the end of a teaspoon in the middle of each snowflake so they hold together when set. Before they set, decorate with the sprinkles. Leave somewhere cold to set completely - you can use the freezer if you want to speed up the process.
• If you want to make the pretzel snowflakes into lollipops, melt the extra 50g chocolate as before and make eight well-spaced blobs, the size of a 1p coin, on some non-stick liner. Put a paper lolly stick on each blob so one end is in the chocolate, then press a pretzel snowflake gently on top and leave somewhere cold to set. Will keep for one to two days in a cool place.

PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Combine the peanut butter and pretzels in a bowl until well combined. Place the bowl in the freezer for 15-30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. Roll the mixture into roughly 20 balls (1 tsp each). Place on a pan lined with wax or parchment paper and place in the freezer for about an hour or until very firm.
• Melt the chocolate and then remove the balls from the freezer. Dip the frozen balls into the melted chocolate and then refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• These softened pretty quick, so be sure to eat them soon after removing from the fridge!

PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, honey/maple syrup, and peanut butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for one minute, remove and stir to mix. If the mixture is not fully combined, microwave for 30 seconds and stire again. Repeat until the ingredients are fully combined.
• While microwaving lay the wax paper on a counter top. When the fudge is combined, coat the pretzels in it. Then lay them on the wax paper to cool.
