Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Treats (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes chill • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Makes 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

These crunchy treats are just that. A treat! They are quick and easy to make — no cooking required. The combination of peanut butter, pretzels, and chocolate is delicious (I love anything with peanut butter and chocolate!) The crunch of the added rice cereal brings out the “treat” in anything! They are so good you’ll be tempted to eat them all at once so plan to make them when you have a few friends around to help.

Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) bag good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Guittard)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

3/4 cup crunchy or creamy natural peanut butter (just peanuts and salt)

3 cups gluten-free crispy brown rice cereal

1 cup gluten-free pretzels, broken into pieces

1 cup peanut butter chips, peanuts, or Peanut Butter M&Ms

Directions

(1) Prepare: Line a cookie sheet or two (that fit in your refrigerator) with parchment paper.

(2) Melt chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a microwave save bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir and heat for another 30 seconds (or more) if additional time is needed to melt the chips completely.

(3) Add the pretzels: In a large bowl, combine the pretzel pieces and the crisp rice cereal. Pour the chocolate mixture over the pretzel blend and fold the mixture with a rubber spatula just until everything is coated in chocolate.

(4) Add the chips: Add the peanut butter chips, peanuts, or M&M and stir just until combined.

(5) Shape the treats: Use a cookie scoop to scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoon size balls and drop them onto the parchment-lined pan with a little space between each one.

(6) Chill: Put the pan(s) in the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes until set. If you have any left, store them in the refrigerator so they don’t get too melty.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
