No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1½ cups mini pretzels, lightly crushed

• 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt (optional, pretzels already bring it)

Optional add-ins (highly encouraged):

• Chopped peanuts

• Mini M&M’s

• Toffee bits

• Shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Mix the base
   In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and thick.

2. Add crunch
   Fold in crushed pretzels and any add-ins.

3. Melt chocolate
   Microwave chocolate in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between, until smooth.

4. Combine
   Pour melted chocolate into the peanut butter mixture and gently fold until just combined (marbled is totally fine).

5. Form clusters
   Scoop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rustic blobs are the vibe.

6. Set
   Chill in the fridge 20–30 minutes until firm.

Storage

• Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week

• Freeze for up to 1 month (they’re incredible cold 👀)

Variations

• Extra decadent: Drizzle with melted white chocolate

• Health-ish: Use natural peanut butter + dark chocolate

• Spicy-sweet: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder

• Holiday mode: Red & green M&M’s or crushed candy canes
