Ingredients
- 1 cup pretzel twists

Instructions
- Prepare the Pretzels: Lay out the pretzel twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter until smooth. If desired, you can add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Bites: Place a small dollop of peanut butter on top of each pretzel and then top with another pretzel to create a sandwich. Press gently to adhere.

- Coat the Bites: Dip each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return to the baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
