In a bowl, mix together creamy peanut butter and softened butter until creamy and smooth. Use either a wooden spoon or a hand mixer. Ensure there are no clumps of butter.

Dump in powdered sugar all at once and using a wooden spoon or gloved hands mix up until it comes together. Although it may appear there is too much powdered sugar, it will come together and create a dough similar to cookie dough that is slightly sticky.

Scoop 1 teaspoon balls using a scoop or spoon. Cut each teaspoon sized ball in half and roll it between clean hands creating a smaller dough ball.

Lay down a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on a cookie sheet that can fit into your refrigerator. Layout 30 pretzels. Place peanut butter dough balls on the pretzel and then sandwich them together with a second pretzel.

Melt the dark chocolate and if you will be using it, add the coconut oil. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time to ensure the chocolate is velvety smooth.

Dip each peanut butter pretzel bite into the melted chocolate stopping halfway up the pretzel. Lay each dipped bite onto the parchment paper on your cookie sheet.

Place the entire tray in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
