No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
From Vegetarian Times
1/2 C Vanilla flavored powdered beverage (I used Trader Joe's Vanilla Whey Protein Powder)
2 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 C creamy peanut butter
1/2 C sugar
3 Tbsp dark rice or corn syrup
2 cups crushed mini pretzels
1/3 C sweetened flaked coconut (optional)
Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet (coat with cooking spray if desired). In a small bowl, whisk together beverage powder, water, and vanilla.
Warm peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth (2-3 minutes). Stir in beverage mixture until combined. Add pretzels and coconut until evenly mixed.
Pinch off 1 inch pieces and leave to cool on the baking sheet. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
