Peanut Butter "Tiger Eye" Pretzel Morsels

Being from Alabama, our priorities are God, country and football. From before you're born your football allegiance has been decided. Your either orange and blue or red and white. I am orange and blue! In honor of my football allegiance, I renamed the Peanut Butter Buck Eye Pretzel Bites I found. On my blog, they're called Peanut Butter Tiger Eye Pretzel Morsels. The recipe I modified is from a blog I love--Sweet Pea's Kitchen. She's got great food--check her out! So for your very own Peanut Butter Tiger Eye Pretzel Morsels.

Ingredients


Pretzels
1 cup of creamy peanut butter
2 tbsps of butter (room temp)
1 1/2-2 cups of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 package of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 tsp of instant coffee powder
Kosher salt
(or any other coarse salt)

Preparation Instructions:

Cream butter and peanut butter together until combined and smooth. Add sugars and vanilla. Mix until incorporated. Start with 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. (You may need up to 2+ cups to get the consistency correct. You want to be able to form the peanut butter filling into balls without it sticking to your hands.) Roll peanut butter mixture into 1 tsp sized balls and press between 2 pretzels. Place peanut butter pretzels in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. While the peanut butter pretzels are setting in the freezer, melt an entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels (in a double boiler) and add the instant coffee grounds. Stir until dissolved. Dip peanut butter pretzels into melted chocolate, sprinkle with a little coarse salt and let harden in the refrigerator.
