Ingredients
- 50 pieces mini twist pretzels
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 pieces candy-coated chocolate drops (like mini M&Ms or similar)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until a thick but moldable consistency is achieved. This will act as the filling for the Doodle Bugs.
Step 3
Take one pretzel and spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on the flat side. Top with another pretzel to create a sandwich. Repeat for all pretzels.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
While the chocolate is still wet, add candy-coated chocolate drops to resemble 'eyes' and sprinkle the dipped end with colorful sprinkles for decoration.
Step 7
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy! These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
