Swap It, Twist It, Love It!
Want to mix things up?
- Swap peanuts for cashews, cereal, or candy-coated chocolates.
- Use almond bark or white candy melts instead of white chocolate.
- Add mini marshmallows or M&Ms once the coating sets.
- Pretzel sticks work too—just a little less coating per piece.
Secret Snack Tips
- Melt peanut butter and chocolate slowly, stirring often.
- Mini pretzel twists catch more coating than sticks.
- Chill the mix briefly for less mess.
- Double the batch—you’ll want leftovers!
Snack Mix Gifting Made Fun
- Scoop into clear treat bags, jars, or small tins.
- Tie with ribbon or twine and add a cute tag.
- Perfect for holidays, birthdays, or game-night favors.
How to Store Your Peanut Butter Pretzel Snack Mix
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to five days. Chilled pieces hold their shape and are less messy. Either way, it won’t last long!
