Description
These No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters are a quick and easy sweet-and-salty treat made with crushed pretzels, creamy peanut butter, and melted chocolate. Perfect for parties, gifting, or a simple snack, all without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mini pretzels, lightly crushed
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
- ½ cup salted peanuts (optional)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
- Stir in peanut butter while chocolate is still warm. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in crushed pretzels and optional salted peanuts until evenly coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter and omit peanuts.
- Dark or milk chocolate can replace semi-sweet chocolate depending on taste preference.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more coconut oil or gently warm to loosen.
- Keep refrigerated to maintain firm texture, especially in warm climates.
