Equipment
- Digital Food Scale
- Small Pot
- Heatproof Mixing Bowl
- Half Sheet Pan
- Parchment Paper Sheets
Ingredients
- 340 grams pretzel twists
- 454 grams light brown sugar (packed)
- 454 grams salted butter (cut in cubes)
- 454 grams mini dark chocolate chips
- 226 grams peanut butter
- India Tree Nature’s Colors Red Sprinkles
- India Tree Nature’s Colors Blue Sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet (half sheet pan that is 18 x 13-inches) with parchment paper and grease the sides of the baking sheet.
- Line the baking sheet with pretzels making an even layer.
- In a medium pot add the brown sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the brown sugar begins to melt. Continue to cook until the mixture is a liquid and it begins to boil, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the top of the pretzels on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sugar mixture looks bubbly. Remove from the oven.
- Add the dark chocolate and peanut butter to a heatproof bowl. Melt, using a double boiler (or alternatively do 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each one). Pour over the pretzel mixture and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle with red sprinkles, blue sugars, and snowflake sprinkles. Place in the freezer to set for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the freezer and break into pieces.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes
Tips
- Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
- While I'm using mini pretzel twists, you can use another kind, even larger ones as they will get broken up anyways.
- If you want to make this gluten free, use your favorite gluten free pretzels.
- I use dark chocolate, but if you prefer milk chocolate or white chocolate you can use either one!
- The sprinkles are optional, so feel free to leave off if you prefer.
- Make sure to store in the fridge.
- High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
