Chocolate Football Peanut Butter Stuffed Pretzel Bites

* Peanut Butter Stuffed/Filled Pretzel Nuggets, like Great Value or Members Mark

*Chocolate Melting Wafers, melted we used Ghirardelli Dark melting Wafers, follow directions on package. Note: Melt 1 cup of wafers at a time and add 1/4 teaspoon of Coconut Oil.

*1 (16 ounce) container Cream Cheese Frosting, like Betty Crocker Note: You will only use a very small amount

Directions:

I like to melt 1 cup of the wafers at a time in glass Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave in 30 second increments. Melt until almost all wafers are melted then stir in coconut oil and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Using the 1 cup measuring cup makes it easy to dip football shaped pretzels. Drop in 1 pretzel at a time flip over the pretzel using a fork until covered with chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and scrape off the bottom of the fork on the side of the cup before sliding the pretzel onto a Silpat or parchment covered 1/2 baking sheet. Repeat for each football pretzel and allow dipped pretzels to set completely before piping on the football laces.

For the laces, use a pastry bag with small round tip and fill with the frosting. Pipe on laces as desired. Repeat for each dipped pretzel football bite.

Note: Repeat 1 cup melting process, dipping and adding laces until the desired number of footballs is achieved.
