Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky

Instructions
Prepare Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble Pretzels:
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto one pretzel. Top with another pretzel to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining pretzels.
Chill the Pretzels:
- Place the pretzel sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Optional: Chocolate Dip
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip half or all of each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, then place back on the parchment paper.
Let Set:
- Allow the chocolate-covered pretzels to set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for faster setting.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once set, enjoy the peanut butter pretzels or store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
