Directions
1 Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325F 163C and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed pretzels and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
3 Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
4 Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake batter.
5 Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
6 Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers slightly jiggle. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tin.
7 Chill: Transfer the cooled cupcakes to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
8 Decorate: Once chilled, drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the top of each cupcake. Place a pretzel twist on top of each and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
9 Serve: Enjoy these decadent bites cold for the best texture and flavor!
