Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 cups Mini pretzels
- 0.5 cups Salted peanuts (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring after each session, until the butterscotch and peanut butter are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Add the mini pretzels to the melted mixture and gently fold to coat them evenly. If using salted peanuts, fold them in as well.
Using a spoon, scoop approximately 1- to 2-tablespoon portions of the pretzel mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small mounds.
If desired, sprinkle each mound lightly with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweet and salty flavor.
Allow the snacks to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the snacks are fully set and no longer sticky, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butterscotch Pretzel Snacks!
