Fursecuri cu unt de arahide si pretzels

In ultimul timp am fost destul de obsedata de torturile Momofuku Milk Bar, in special de cel cu ciocolata si pretzels (covrigei sarati sau sticksuri). Probabil ca il voi face la un moment dat, insa pana atunci va arat astazi o reteta de fursecuri cu unt de arahide si covrigei sarati inspirata de acel tort, o combinatie clasica de dulce si sarat care mie una imi place enorm. Decorate cu putina ciocolata topita, fursecurile au fost mai mult decat delicioase.

In alta ordine de idei, saptamana viitoare e Food Bloggers Conference, editia 2015 la care voi fi si eu prezenta. Va tin la curent cu ce se intampla pe Facebook, dar mai ales pe Instagram.

Fursecuri cu unt de arahide si pretzels

Contrastul dulce-sarat din aceste fursecuri este delicios, iar aroma de unt de arahide este super interesanta!

ENGLISH

I’m eagerly waiting for Food Bloggers Conference next week in Bucharest. It’s the second edition in Romania and the first I’m going to. I’m excited to be honest. Meeting fellow bloggers, taking part at the food photography workshop and hearing the stories of famous chefs can only be inspiring, right?! I will be sharing pictures from the event on Facebook and Instagram so make sure you’re following me there if you want to know more about the conference and the food photography workshop I will be taking part at during the conference.

Until then though, here’s a recipe I made last week – peanut butter pretzel cookies. I had some peanut butter leftover in a jar I found as I organized the cupboard I store all my baking ingredients in. And I just wanted to clear the space so these cookies were born. It happened that I’ve also been reading about Momofuku Milk Bar pretzel cake lately and I had some pretzels as well so I could say these cookies were inspired by that. Plus, I love the mix of sweet and salty, so there you have it – sweet, moist cookies with salty pretzel bits in the batter, drizzled with melted chocolate and sprinkled with additional pretzels. I gotta say that from every peanut butter recipe I made before, this was the best – the cookies were moist and stored well for almost 1 week, the batter was easy to work with and the decorating was so much fun!
