Directions:
Stir together peanut butter and butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add sugar; work into a smooth dough with your hands. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Using the palms of your hands, roll dough into 1 1/2-inch oblong acorns (should make 36) flatten 1 end of each a bit with your fingertips, and place on a waxed paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate another 30 minutes.

Meanwhile melt chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Working with 1 acorn at a time, insert a toothpick into rounded tip, dip flat end into chocolate, than return to baking sheet. Remove toothpick and insert a pretzel piece into the chocolate dipped end of each acorn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 2 hours.

Makes: 36 acorns
