Hey there, fellow midnight snackers! 🌙✨
Let me tell you about my absolute favorite late-night treat that’s been keeping me sane during those work-from-home munchies. I present to you: The Sweet & Salty Pretzel-Chocolate Clusters (and trust me, they’re totally worth breaking your diet for!).
You know those moments when you’re craving something sweet AND salty, but you’re too lazy to whip up anything complicated? Girl, I’ve got you covered! This recipe is so easy, you could practically make it with your eyes closed (but please don’t, safety first! 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 bag of mini pretzels
– 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup of peanut butter (chunky or smooth – you do you!)
– A sprinkle of sea salt
– Optional: crushed nuts or sprinkles (because why not?)
Now, let’s get this party started:
1. Break those pretzels into smaller pieces – take out your work frustrations on them if you must! You’ll want about 2 cups of pretzel pieces.
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Start with 30 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second intervals. (Pro tip: Don’t overdo it, or you’ll end up with chocolate lava!)
1. Once it’s all smooth and melted (seriously, try not to eat it all right then), fold in those pretzel pieces until they’re fully coated.

1. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry about making them perfect – we’re going for rustic chic here!
1. Sprinkle some sea salt on top (trust me on this one), and add any other toppings your heart desires.
1. Pop them in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes until they’re set.
And voilà! You’ve got yourself a perfectly balanced snack that’s sweet, salty, and totally Instagram-worthy. Plus, they keep well in an airtight container, assuming they last that long (mine never do! 🤭).
Y’all, I’d love to hear how these turned out for you! Drop a comment below and share your pretzel cluster adventures. Did you add any special toppings? Did they make it to the container, or did they mysteriously disappear right after setting? 😏
