• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

  Place 48 pretzels (half of the pretzels) onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Peanut Butter Filling

• Combine softened butter, powdered sugar, and crunchy peanut butter in a mixing bowl. You can use a Danish dough whisk or electric mixer. Mix until a soft dough forms. If your dough feels a little dry you can add an additional teaspoon of milk. Cover with plastic, to prevent the filling from drying out and set aside.
• Unwrap and cut each piece of caramel candy into 4 sections. Place one piece of caramel onto each pretzel. Bake for 5-6 minutes.

Caramel

• While the caramel pretzels are in the oven, arrange the rest of the pretzels onto a cutting board or work surface. Roll the peanut butter filling into SMALL balls and divide it amongst the pretzels, pressing down slightly.
• Remove the caramel pretzels from the oven.

  Press each peanut butter pretzel onto a caramel pretzel. Press down to flatten it into a sandwich.
• Let the Take 5 bites stand until the caramel is at room temperature.

Chocolate

• Melt the chocolate according to the package instructions, or in a double boiler.

  Note: if using chocolate chips, and you find that it hasn't melted down thin enough for dipping, you can add a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil or shortening then stir into the warm chocolate.
• Dip each Take 5 bites into chocolate, using a fork. Cover both sizes then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
• Place the bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let stand until hardened.
