Ingredients
- 1 cup pretzels (mini or small-sized, enough to be filled)
- 1 cup edible cookie dough (safe to eat raw, homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
- Prepare the Pretzels: Carefully separate pretzel pieces to create small cups or holes suitable for holding the cookie dough. If using pretzel twists, select the ones with natural pockets or break pretzels gently to form bite-sized cups.
- Fill Pretzels with Cookie Dough: Using a small spoon or your fingers, fill each pretzel cup with a small amount of edible cookie dough until filled but not overflowing.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Dip Pretzel Bites in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each filled pretzel bite into the melted chocolate, coating it fully or partially as desired.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped pretzel bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens and sets.
- Serve: Once set, serve your Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure you use safe-to-eat edible cookie dough to avoid any food safety issues.
- You can customize the chocolate type to dark, milk, or white chocolate based on preference.
- For added texture, sprinkle crushed nuts or sea salt on the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Store leftover bites in a cool place to prevent melting.
- If you prefer, use store-bought filled pretzels for convenience.
