From Jessie Oleson Moore, these [chocolate-peanut butter-filled soft pretzels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-pretzel-stick) were the result of a [Pillsbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-mini-bagels) 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.
