Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Mix
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Coat Pretzels: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzel sticks and powdered sugar, tossing to coat them evenly for a lightly sweetened base.
- Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Pretzels and Peanut Butter: Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the coated pretzels and mix thoroughly to ensure every pretzel is fully coated.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the coated pretzel mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small clusters.
- Melt Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over each pretzel cluster to add a rich, sweet finish.
- Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on each cluster if desired to balance the sweetness with a hint of saltiness.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the clusters on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate and peanut butter coating has set firm.
- Serve and Store: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or mini M&Ms to the clusters for extra crunch and flavor.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
