Ingredients
1 cup Finely crushed pretzels
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup Granulated sugr
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
12 Pretzel twists (for topping)
Pinch of sea salt
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed pretzels and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake batter.
Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers slightly jiggle. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tin.
Chill: Transfer the cooled cupcakes to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Decorate: Once chilled, drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the top of each cupcake. Place a pretzel twist on top of each and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Serve: Enjoy these decadent bites cold for the best texture and flavor!
