Sometimes the strangest ingredient combinations combine to make the most delicious foods! This is the case with these delightful chocolate covered peanut butter jalapeno pops that are one of the most trendy party foods this season. Although the flavor combination might seem unusual, the complementing tastes work together to create an explosion in your mouth.

The first step in preparing the treat is to carefully remove the top of 12 jalapenos and remove all of the seeds. Use kitchen prep gloves so that you do not accidentally get too much heat in your eye.

Next, mix 1/2 cup of peanut butter with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until combined. Add a pinch of salt, if desired. Spoon this mixture into the hollowed out jalapeno. A pastry piping bag can be used for this step to help control the mess factor.

Insert a salted pretzel stick into the peanut butter mixture, pushing it until it is about halfway into the jalapeno.

Melt dark chocolate squares in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, you are ready to begin dipping your jalapeno treats into the chocolate.

The entire jalapeno should be submerged into the dark chocolate, taking care to ensure that it is thoroughly coated.

Carefully place each jalapeno onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that the chocolate will harden. Meanwhile, melt white chocolate squares in the microwave until smooth and creamy. Using the tines of the fork, drizzle the white chocolate over the jalapeno.

A piping bag or a spoon can also be used to create the drizzled effect. This adds both an extra layer of chocolate flavor as well as a decorative touch to complete the look.

But be warned! These delectable bites pack a lot of heat. Be sure to warn your taste testers before they sink their teeth into these poppers. Having plenty of water on hand just in case is also a good idea. But don't let the uniqueness of the combination of flavors scare you away.

Be adventurous and see where your taste buds will take you!
