  • Author: Lyndy

  • Yield: 20 clusters 1x

Description

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters are the ultimate combination of salty, sweet, and crunchy. These easy, no-bake treats combine crushed pretzels, creamy peanut butter, and rich chocolate into bite-sized clusters that are impossible to resist. Perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime snacking, they deliver all the flavor of homemade candy with zero oven time!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed mini pretzels
  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil or shortening
  • Optional: chopped peanuts, caramel bits, or white chocolate drizzle for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush the pretzels: Place mini pretzels in a zip-top bag and crush lightly using a rolling pin. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Melt the chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Mix and coat: Pour melted chocolate mixture over crushed pretzels. Stir gently until all pretzel pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per cluster onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until clusters harden completely. Once firm, remove and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Melt chocolate slowly to avoid overheating or seizing.
  • Use quality chocolate and peanut butter chips for the best flavor.
  • Add toppings like nuts or sprinkles while chocolate is still warm.
  • Work quickly — the mixture hardens as it cools.
  • Store clusters chilled for maximum crunch and freshness.
