No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters
Ingredients:
- 2 cups mini pretzels, roughly crushed
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (or semi-sweet/dark, if preferred)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, helps with melting)
- ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)
- Sea salt flakes (optional, for topping)
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
3. In a separate bowl, gently warm the peanut butter until it softens slightly, making it easier to mix.
4. Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined.
5. Fold in the crushed pretzels and chopped peanuts (if using), ensuring everything is evenly coated.
6. Using a spoon, drop small clusters onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top of each cluster while the mixture is still soft.
8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the clusters are set and firm.
9. Once set, remove clusters from the fridge and serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
