Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase to medium and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peanut butter and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe small dollops onto pretzels or use as a dip for pretzel rods.
- Refrigerate filled pretzels for at least 30 minutes before dipping in melted chocolate to set the filling.
Tips
- For a firmer filling, refrigerate for 1 hour before piping.
- Store filled pretzels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter if desired.
