I wonder if there would be an easy way to stuff the peanut butter
inside the dough? I can't think of a way but I just love those nugget
pretzels with peanut butter inside. Thanks for the ideas.

I bet it would be pretty easy to do. Flatten a rectangle of dough and
put some in the middle. Roll it up so the peanut butter would be in
the middle or even make it into a spiral.

I LOVE those TJ peanut butter crunchy pretzel bites, but not loving
the idea of peanut butter soft pretzels. Color me fickle!

Heh. That idea doesn't appeal either. :/

That's how I'd do them also, but wonder if the p.b. would ooze out
during the boiling part.
