Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups small pretzels (mini twists or sticks, lightly crushed)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pretzels
Start by lightly crushing the pretzels. You don’t want crumbs—just smaller pieces that still keep their crunch. You can do this by placing them in a zip bag and gently pressing with your hands or a rolling pin.
Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Melt the Peanut Butter Mixture
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine:
- Peanut butter
- Honey (or maple syrup)
Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable. This usually takes about 1 minute total.
Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
