Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes 24 clusters)
1½ cups (270g) mini pretzel twists (or sticks, broken into pieces)
¾ cup (90g) roasted salted peanuts (or mixed nuts)
1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (not “natural” oily kind)
2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (if using unsalted PB)
Optional:
½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzle)
Flaky sea salt for finishing
💡 Pro Tips:
Use shelf-stable peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy)—natural PB can make clusters too soft.
Chop pretzels slightly if using large twists—easier to cluster!
Line your tray with parchment or silicone mat—no sticking!
