Healthy No Bake Chocolate Pretzel Bites

4.63 from 8 votes

One of my favorite easy sweet treat snacks. I have seen these for years, but the ingredients always make them unhealthy and loaded with unecessary sugar. So I create a recipe that fixes all of that! Easy to make and fun to make. Kid approved as well as adult!

Ingredients

40 unsalted Whole Wheat Pretzel Minis
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter make sure no added sugar
1 tbsp Chocolate Protein Powder we use Orgain
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips we use Enjoy Life Chocolate Mega Chunks
** sea salt flakes for sprinkling at the end

Instructions

In a small bowl, add peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup. Take a spatula & mix until well combined. You will start to feel it thicken. Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
While the stuffing is setting, line baking sheet with parchment paper and then start matching your pretzel pairs. I like to stack each set
(the top pretzel mini & bottom pretzel mini that will make the "bite", so you can quickly assemble!)
Then take your filling out of the refrigerator. With a 1/2 tsp, start to portion out the filling. use 1/2 tsp of the filling for each bite. Scoop out the filling, roll it a bit in you hand. Press into the center of one of the minis, then press the other on top, creating the bite as seen above. Repeat until all are done!
Then heat your chocolate in microwave in 30 second increments. Depending on the chocolate, I like to add a little bit of coconut oil before microwaving chocolate to make sure it doesn't burn. Keep doing 30 second increments and stirring in between until all melted.
Then dip each half of the pretzel bites, sprinkle with salt on the chocolate, then let them set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes-- then ENJOY!
