S'mores Stuffed Pretzels

S'mores Stuffed Pretzels are a creative fusion of two iconic snacks: soft pretzels and the beloved s'mores. This recipe combines the chewy texture of a traditional pretzel with the gooey, chocolatey goodness of melted marshmallows and chocolate chips, offering a fun and indulgent treat for any occasion.

INGREDIENTS

• Pizza dough: 1 batch, either store-bought or homemade
• Mini chocolate chips: 1 cup, for the perfect chocolatey filling
• Mini marshmallows: 1 ½ cups, adding gooey sweetness
• Unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons, melted for brushing the pretzels
• Baking soda: 3-4 tablespoons, for boiling the pretzels
• Water: 8 cups, for boiling the pretzels

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Divide the pizza dough into 4 portions and roll each into a long log. Flatten the logs with a rolling pin.

Step 2:

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and marshmallows down the center of each flattened dough log. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.

Step 3:

Twist each log into a pretzel shape and seal the ends with a bit of water.

Step 4:

Boil 8 cups of water with 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds on each side, then transfer to a baking sheet.

Step 5:

Brush the pretzels with melted butter and bake at 500°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
