Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

So Lifeforce currently have super simple Nut Butter Ball Challenge ongoing. I figured I should most definitely get involved and so I decided to create something a little different. Peanut Butter fudge bites sandwiched between two crispy pretzels and dunked in chocolate. SIMPLE and delicious!

I love a little challenge, so I basically just challenged myself to create a nut butter bite that wasn’t date based as it tends to be the go to. These bites come together so quickly and they’re super cute!

If you’re not a pretzel fan or maybe you need a gluten free option, you could sandwich them between two thin gluten free crackers or cookies before dunking in chocolate or leave them as they are and make buckeyes; coating most of the ball and leave a little “eye” of peanut butter peeping through. The pretzels make them for me, I just love the salty crunch!

You can enter by posting your nut butter ball creations, tagging @lifeforce_ie and using the #nutbutterballchallenge over on Instagram. Easy! And you could win a nut butter bundle, and we all know you can never have enough nut butter in your life.

FYI this post is not sponsored, I did create a bundle of recipes for Lifeforce and decided to reshare one of them on here.
