Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels, broken
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Add white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine Peanut Butter: Stir in creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Add Pretzels and Peanuts: Gently fold in broken mini pretzels and chopped salted peanuts until all pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
- Form Clusters: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
- Optional Salt Sprinkle: Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cluster to enhance the flavor contrast.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm and set.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; crunchy peanut butter may alter cluster texture.
- If you don’t have mini pretzels, break regular pretzels into small bite-sized pieces.
- Store clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
- Clusters can be kept for up to one week refrigerated or frozen for longer storage.
- For a chocolate variation, substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips.
