Peanut Butter Fudge Covered Pretzels Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, honey/maple syrup, and peanut butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for one minute, remove and stir to mix. If the mixture is not fully combined, microwave for 30 seconds and stire again. Repeat until the ingredients are fully combined.
• While microwaving lay the wax paper on a counter top. When the fudge is combined, coat the pretzels in it. Then lay them on the wax paper to cool.

TRIPLE-DECKER PEANUT BUTTER AND PRETZEL FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan or casserole with aluminum foil, with long flaps hanging over each edge.
• 2. Pulse 15 of the pretzels in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. (You should have 1 cup.) Crush the remaining 10 pretzels into large chunks by hand and set aside for topping the fudge.
• 3. Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer over medium to medium-low heat. Set the bowl over the saucepan but not touching the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter melt, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and egg and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until warm to the touch and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pretzel crumbs. Press firmly into the prepared pan. (Save the pan of water for melting the chocolate ganache.)
• 4. For the fudge: Combine the condensed milk with the peanut butter chips and a pinch of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cook until melted and smooth, stirring only occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the peanut butter fudge on top of the crust and spread into an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• 5. For the ganache: While the fudge is chilling, combine the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl and set over the simmering water. Stir until melted, smooth, and shiny, about 3 minutes. Using an offset spatula, spread the glaze over the fudge and sprinkle with the large chunks of pretzel pieces. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or up to overnight. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares or into 1 1/2-by-3-inch candy bars.
• Gift Note: Enjoy these at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate and serve cold like a candy bar straight from the ice box.

MERTZIE'S ADDICTIVE PRETZEL CANDY FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. Put mashed pretzels in an oven on warm. Melt the peanut butter morsels & white chocolate morsels together. (I do this on 50% power in the microwave for about 5 minutes, stirring at least once.)
• 2. When melted, mix in peanut butter, peanuts & the mashed pretzels.
• 3. Spread onto a WELL-greased 8x8 pan. (I always line the pan with parchment paper sprayed with Pam.)
• 4. Allow fudge to harden, about 2 hours. Cut in chunks. They are not meant to look perfect. DIG IN!!!
