We love an easy and delicious no bake dessert with very little effort, and of course it helps when it’s “no fail” too. No bake pretzel caramel clusters cover all of these bases. One of the reasons we couldn’t resist these clusters is that they are loaded with all of our favorite ingredients. Just a warning, if you are making a batch of these pretzel caramel clusters, you might as well make that a double batch. They’ll be devoured before you know it.
To make these no bake pretzel caramel clusters, we only needed 5 ingredients.
Make these in 5 easy steps
Melt butter and marshmallows in a saucepan. Stir until melted and smooth and then add in the pretzel pieces and stir until all are coated with the marshmallow coating.
Grease your fingertips with nonstick cooking spray. Drop by rounded tablespoon clusters onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Use your greased fingertips to help push the clusters off of the spoon. (It gets a little sticky)
Melt the caramels with the water in a medium saucepan. Add in the peanut butter and mix in well. Carefully spoon over the pretzel clusters.
Let them set up for about an hour and then they are ready to eat. Our kids absolutely loved them.
