Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters Recipe
Recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod
These clusters are a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter, crunchy pretzels, and chewy dates, all wrapped in rich chocolate. Topped with flaky sea salt, they offer the perfect balance of sweet and salty in every bite. Top them with Cadbury mini eggs to make cute little nests for a festive Easter treat!
Servings: 15 clusters
Calories: 251kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped pretzels
- 1 cup chopped medjool dates
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
- Cadbury mini eggs, if you want to make nests
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a large microwave safe bowl. Place in the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Add the chopped pretzels and dates. Stir until well coated.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters, about 2 tablespoons per cluster. Make sure the clusters aren’t touching. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. If you want to make bird nests, gently press 3 Cadbury mini eggs on top and gently press down.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set and the clusters are firm. You can also freeze them for 20 to 30 minutes to speed up the process. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
Storing: Store the clusters in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Dates: I use pitted medjool dates. If your dates aren't pitted, remove the pit and then chop them up.
Variations: You can use semisweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips. I use natural creamy peanut butter, but commercial peanut butter will work.
