Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 T milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1¼ cups flour
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 40-50 pretzels
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips
• 1 tsp shortening, optional

Directions

• Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In a large bowl beat butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add the flour and salt and mix on medium speed and thoroughly combined. Note: Dough will be thick and crumbly; keep mixing until it comes together. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
• Roll 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough into balls. Place dough between two pretzels and set on prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• While pretzel bites chill, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds.
• Dip the pretzel bites halfway into the melted chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate the dipped bites for at least 10 minutes to allow chocolate to set. Cover and store pretzel bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).
