Here’s a simple, no-bake peanut butter pretzel clusters recipe with clear headings and instructions.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters
Ingredients (Makes ~12–15 clusters)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups mini pretzels, roughly broken
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Prepare a Baking Sheet
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Mix in Pretzels
- Add pretzels to the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Gently fold until all pretzels are coated.
4. Form Clusters
- Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster.
5. Chill
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or until clusters are firm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- For a lighter version, use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.
- Add nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
- For faster setting, place clusters in the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
