Description
These Chocolate Dipped Bunny Pretzels are the perfect sweet and salty treat for Easter! With the fun shape of bunnies and a smooth chocolate coating, these pretzels are both adorable and delicious. Easy to make, they’re ideal for holiday parties, gifts, or just a fun snack for the family.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mini pretzels (preferably the twists shape)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or any chocolate of your choice)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Pink candy melts (or pink frosting for decoration)
- Edible eyes (optional, for the bunny look)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
-
Layer ingredients: Pour the dry cake mix directly into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
-
Add peanut butter mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, milk, melted butter, brown sugar (if using), and salt (if using). Stir until smooth. Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cake mix in the baking dish, but do not stir. The cake mix will absorb the liquid as it bakes.
-
Add chocolate and peanut butter cups: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly over the top of the cake batter.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. The cake will be gooey and fudgy in the middle, and crispy on the edges.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the dump cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to use a chocolate cake mix for a richer, more chocolatey flavor.
- You can add extra peanut butter cups on top after baking for an extra indulgent treat.
- This dessert is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
