No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters
Ingredients (makes ~20 clusters)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate)
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 cups mini pretzels (or break larger pretzels into bite-sized pieces)
- Optional: sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Mix in pretzels
- Fold pretzels into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until coated.
- Form clusters
- Using a spoon, drop small mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
- Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Serve & store
- Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Crunch factor: Use pretzels with a bit of thickness—they hold up better in the chocolate.
- Mix-ins: Add peanuts, M&Ms, or a few oats for variety.
- Easy clean-up: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
💡 Fun fact: These are called “clusters” because they don’t require molding or baking—just scoop, chill, and enjoy!
If you want, I can also give a super-quick 3-ingredient version that’s basically chocolate + peanut butter + pretzels, ready in 10 minutes flat.
Do you want me to do that?
