Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzel sticks and peanuts, creating an initial dry base for the snack mix.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the peanut butter and honey together, stirring until smooth and fully combined. This will create a sticky, sweet binding sauce for the mix.
- Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the pretzels and peanuts, carefully stirring to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating an even layer to allow for easy cooling and setting.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the mixture while it's still warm, allowing the chips to slightly melt and adhere to the pretzels and peanuts.
- Let the snack mix cool at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and the coating has hardened.
- Break the mixture into smaller clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth melting and even coating of the pretzels and peanuts.
- For a more gourmet touch, try using dark chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate for added depth of flavor.
- Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing the mix from sticking.
- If you want extra crunch, toast the peanuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the mix.
- Store the snack mix in an airtight container to maintain its crispness and prevent moisture from making the pretzels soggy.
- For a fun variation, try adding some mini marshmallows or drizzling with additional melted chocolate after cooling.
- This recipe is incredibly versatile – feel free to swap peanuts with almonds or add dried fruit for a different twist!
