They set beautifully in the fridge and deliver that irresistible sweet-and-salty bite every single time.Let’s get into this no-bake magic!
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzel sticks broken into smaller pieces
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother chocolate melting
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Prep the Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and thickened.
Add Pretzels
- Fold in the broken pretzel pieces until everything is evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.
Form the Clusters
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Shape gently into small mounds.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
Top with Chocolate
- Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over each cluster. Add a light sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor contrast, if desired.
Chill
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm and set.
