Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 3 cups mini pretzels
- 0.25 cup crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each round, until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until well combined.
Gently fold in the mini pretzels, ensuring they are evenly coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small piles.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until the piles are firm and set.
Once chilled, remove the pileups from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Serve and enjoy your no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pileups!
