Peanut Butter Pretzel Clusters

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 13 minutes
Makes 20 clusters

Ingredients

  • 40 small pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange 40 small pretzel twists in 20 matching pairs.
  • Beat 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar together until it forms a stiff, moldable paste that holds its shape when rolled.
  • Roll the peanut butter mixture into 20 small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and flatten slightly.
  • Sandwich each flattened ball between two pretzel twists, pressing gently so the filling just peeks out the sides.
  • Freeze the sandwiched clusters on the sheet for 15 minutes, until firm enough to dip without falling apart.
  • Melt 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and pourable.
  • Dip each cluster halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then return to the parchment to set.
  • Let clusters sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes, until the chocolate is fully hardened and no longer glossy when touched.
  • Bag clusters individually or in pairs in small clear cellophane bags, sealing with a twist tie or a sticker.

Good to Know

Swap sunflower seed butter for peanut butter if you need a nut-free batch for the same table, and mark the bag clearly either way.
