Ingredients
  

For the Clusters
  • 2 cups Pretzel Sticks Provides crunchy texture and salty flavor; substitute with pretzel twists or squares if desired.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Acts as a binding agent and adds richness; may be swapped with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a twist.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the mixture and helps achieve a smooth consistency; adjust to taste.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (optional) Adds a decadent touch and extra sweetness; can use mini chocolate chips for variation or skip entirely.

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • separate bowl
  • sturdy spatula or mixing spoon
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prep Pretzels - Start by breaking the pretzel sticks into smaller, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: Create Peanut Butter Mixture - In a separate bowl, add creamy peanut butter and sift in powdered sugar. Combine these ingredients until they form a thick and smooth paste, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients - Pour the peanut butter mixture over the prepared pretzel pieces. Gently mix them together until every pretzel is coated with the peanut butter paste.
  4. Step 4: Shape Clusters - Take small portions of the mixture and form it into bite-sized clusters. Place each cluster on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Melt Chocolate (if using) - Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
  6. Step 6: Chill - Place the baking sheet with the clusters in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Store - Once chilled, transfer your clusters to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
