Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Place the mini pretzel twists in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is fully melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes total).
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture over the pretzels in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss with a spatula until the pretzels are fully coated.
Using a spoon, scoop small clusters of the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cluster.
If desired, lightly dust the clusters with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
Allow the clusters to cool at room temperature until they set, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, gently remove the tumbleweeds from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
