Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels, roughly crushed

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (or semi-sweet/dark, if preferred)

• 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, helps with melting)

• ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)

• Sea salt flakes (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil or butter, heating 30 seconds at a time and stirring until smooth.

3. In a large bowl, mix crushed pretzels, peanut butter, and chopped peanuts (if using).

4. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and fold gently to coat everything.

5. Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top, if you like that fancy zip.

7. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, until firm and solid like tiny peanut butter mountains.

8. Enjoy cold and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
