Easy Gift Idea: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels and PBJ Grahams

We’ve got a new Costco in town. I’m not much of a shopper, but I kind of love this store.

On my most recent trip, I found this big container of peanut butter-filled pretzels. And I knew they would be meeting up with chocolate at the first possible moment.

These would make a great, simple gift idea. Package them in a cute jar and you’ll make someone very happy.

I also made Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Grahams and Chocolate Covered PBJ Grahams. No surprise, I liked the PBJ Grahams best. They are so good!

There are a few extra steps needed for the grahams, but it’s still such an easy process. These would make great gifts too.

I decided to use almond bark to coat these treats. It’s very easy to use. Just melt it in the microwave. But I have to say, I really like the flavor of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips better. The darker chocolate isn’t quite as sweet. Next time, I’ll melt the chips and use those.

For the Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels, it’s really just a matter of melting the almond bark and dunking the pretzels. Place them on waxed paper until the chocolate firms up.

For the grahams, I spread them with peanut butter, adding raspberry jam to some of them. Then I popped them in the freezer for several minutes before dunking them in chocolate.
