NO BAKE PRETZEL CARAMEL CLUSTERS

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.


INGREDIENTS
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 3/4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 2 cups pretzel sticks (break into small pieces)
  • 15 Kraft Caramels (unwrapped)
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter



INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Then add in the miniature marshmallows. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  2. Fold in the broken pretzel sticks and stir until combined.
  3. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper that has been lightly greased. (grease your fingertips too for easy handling)
  4. In another saucepan melt the caramels with water over low heat until smooth, stirring constantly.
  5. Add the peanut butter to the caramel mixture and stir well.
  6. Carefully spoon the caramel mixture over each cluster.
  7. Let cool.
