- ½ cup creamy peanut butter

In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla.

Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.

Sandwich another pretzel on top and gently press them together. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you're out of peanut butter mix.
½ bag waffle pretzels
Place the entire baking sheet into the fridge while you're melting the chocolate.
