No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Mini pretzels, roughly crushed | 2 cups |
| White chocolate chips (or semi-sweet/dark) | 1½ cups |
| Creamy peanut butter | 1 cup |
| Chopped peanuts (optional) | ½ cup |
| Coconut oil or butter (optional) | 1 tbsp |
| Sea salt flakes (optional) | For topping |
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Surface
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Tip: White chocolate melts quickly and can burn easily. If it’s almost melted, stop heating and let the residual heat finish the job as you stir.
Step 3: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine crushed pretzels, peanut butter, and chopped peanuts, if using.
Step 4: Combine and Scoop
Pour the melted chocolate over the mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Season and Chill
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes for a gourmet touch, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or freeze for 20 minutes) until firm.
Step 6: Serve and Store
Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
