Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter Room temperature for easier mixing.
- 2 cups Mini pretzels Regular pretzels or crushed potato chips can be used.
- 1/3 cup Honey or maple syrup Agave syrup or coconut nectar can substitute.
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chips (optional) Can use dark chocolate or white chocolate.
- to taste pinch Sea salt Flaky sea salt or kosher salt can be used.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and grab a large mixing bowl. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the mini pretzels, ensuring each pretzel gets coated without crushing them.
- If using chocolate, melt it in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Drizzle or mix the melted chocolate with the clusters.
- Using a spoon or your hands, form the mixture into small clusters on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Once firm, they are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Ensure room temperature ingredients for easier mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep clusters crispy. Chill adequately for best results.
