Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and crunchy pretzels. This easy recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors, making it an ideal snack or dessert for any occasion, from holidays to movie nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 cups crushed pretzels (sticks, twists, or rods)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: flaky sea salt or chopped peanuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Crush the Pretzels: Place pretzels in a zip-top bag and crush gently with a rolling pin until you have a mix of small chunks and fine bits.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth (about 1–2 minutes total).
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  4. Mix with Pretzels: Fold the crushed pretzels into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until fully coated.
  5. Form the Clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
  7. Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt or chopped peanuts before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate; stir frequently while melting.
  • Use fresh pretzels for maximum crunch in your chocolate peanut butter pretzel clusters.
  • Customize with caramel drizzle, nuts, or candy toppings for tasty variations.
  • Store in the fridge to keep them firm and fresh.
