Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk start with one Tablespoon and only add the second if dough is too stiff or dry
  • 1ΒΌ cups heat-treated all-purpose flour* or flour alternative such as almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour
  • 1 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 40-50 Mini pretzel twists
  • One (12 oz package) Ghiarardelli chocolate melting wafers
  • Chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with the paddle attachment until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the vanilla extract and milk, beating well. Lastly, add in the flour until a soft dough comes together. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
  • Using a two-teaspoon size measuring spoon, measure out balls of cookie dough. Gently press each cookie dough ball in between two mini pretzel twists. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining pretzel bites. Refrigerate pretzel bites until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt the candy coating according to package directions or until smooth. Dunk half of each pretzel bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to the baking sheet and top with chocolate sprinkles. Repeat with remaining pretzel bites. Allow chocolate to set before serving. These are best served out of the fridge!
  • TO HEAT TREAT ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR: Simply place the flour in a microwave safe bowl or plate and heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.
