1. Make the peanut butter filling:

• In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar together until smooth.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the filling is thick and holds its shape.

2. Assemble the pretzel bites:

• Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a small ball.
• Place the peanut butter ball onto a pretzel, then top with another pretzel, pressing gently to flatten slightly and create a sandwich.
• Repeat until all the filling and pretzels are used. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.

3. Melt the chocolate:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.

4. Dip the pretzel bites:

• Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, if desired.

5. Chill and serve:

• Refrigerate the pretzel bites for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set. Serve and enjoy!
