Instructions

Add peanut butter, almond flour, syrup and vanilla to a bowl and mix
Roll the peanut butter mixture into balls, about 1-2 tablespoon eace
Place the peanut butter balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil
Set in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden
Right before the 20 minutes are up, melt the chocolate
Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between (add coconut oil if needed)
Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and add the pretzels
Break each pretzel stick in half and use the broken end to gently push into the ball on either side to create “legs”
Place them back in the freezer for 5 more minutes to firm up even more before coating them in chocolate
Gently dip them top down into the melted chocolate. Make sure the legs are thoroughly covered in chocolate
Place them back on the sheet or plate and freeze them for at least another 20 minutes or in fridge to firm and enjoy!
