Ingredients:

How To Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters:

Step 1: Prep the Surface: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This ensures your clusters won’t stick once the chocolate sets.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is completely smooth.

Tip: Be extra careful with white chocolate! It has a lower melting point than dark chocolate and can “seize” or burn easily. If it looks almost melted, stop microwaving and just let the residual heat finish the job as you stir.

Step 3: Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the crushed pretzels, peanut butter, and chopped peanuts.

Step 4: Combine and Scoop: Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzel mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together until the pretzels are fully coated. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Season and Chill: If you like that “gourmet” finish, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt flakes over each cluster while the chocolate is still wet. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or the freezer for 20 minutes) until they are firm and “snappable.“

Step 6: Serve and Store: Serve them chilled! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
