This delightful concoction is probably not what you had in mind when you read chocolate pretzel. From Jessie Oleson Moore, these chocolate-peanut butter-filled soft pretzels were the result of a Pillsbury bake-off competition. Using a recipe from Elizabeth Bennet, Moore made the pretzels using canned bread stick dough. Meanwhile, the filling is a combination of cocoa, peanut butter, egg and whipped cream. Garnished with a bit of sea salt, this chocolate pretzel is the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
If you love chocolate but aren't too into sweets and also have a thing for carbs, you have likely entirely lost your chill by now. To make your own, you can visit the Cake Spy blog for full instructions.
