A healthy chocolate covered pretzels snack made with three ingredients. No bake

I’m a sucker for sweet and salty combinations so it was a no brainer when I decided to make these chocolate covered pretzels.

Trying to coat single pretzels in chocolate can be tedious and time consuming so adding everything to a big bowl and finishing them as clusters just seemed like right thing to do.

Inspired by my chocolate almond cluster recipe, you are going to love these chocolate covered pretzels.

Ingredients

  • mini pretzels – I used gluten free but you can certainly use whatever kind of pretzels you like
  • dark chocolate bar – Lily’s sugar free chocolate is a personal favorite. I’ve found that some sugar free chocolate melts better than others and Lily’s melts really well. It even finishes with a shiny gloss when cooled. But feel free to use whatever chocolate is your favorite
  • dry roasted peanuts – I added these for extra texture and for that peanut butter-pretzel vibe but you can use whatever nut you want or omit entirely and replace with more pretzel pieces.
  • sea salt flakes – don’t sea salt flakes just make everything better? It’s the final ingredient that makes the perfect flavor combination.

That’s it!

How to store chocolate covered pretzels

How far in advance can you make chocolate covered pretzels

You can make these up to two weeks in advance and store them in the refrigerator or up to 3 months and freeze.

Do you freeze or refrigerate chocolate covered pretzels?

Yes! I love cold chocolate and prefer to store these in the refrigerator. They will last two weeks in the refrigerator in an air tight container or three months in the freezer.
