A delicious, eggless treat, these Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites are no bake, and perfect for parties. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough sandwiched between two mini pretzel twists and dunked in chocolate!

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 6 oz Ghirardelli Dark chocolate melting wafers, melted (according to package)
• 6 oz Ghirardelli White Chocolate melting wafers, melted (according to package)
• sprinkles, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and well blended. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat in flour and salt. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay a single layer of mini pretzel twists onto the parchment (about 48). Using a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop, drop a scoop of cookie dough onto each pretzel. When finished, top with a second pretzel.
3. Freeze for about 15-30 minutes.
4. Dip half of each pretzel bite into melted chocolate and return to parchment paper. Add sprinkles immediately. Allow to set (about 10 minutes) and enjoy!

*Store in refrigerator in a covered container for up to 5 days. These are best however within 48 hours, the pretzel tends to get soft/stale.
