Peanut Butter Nutella Pretzel and Peanut Snack Mix
This no-bake mix is salty-and-sweet, and made with peanut butter, peanuts, chocolate by way of Nutella, and sprinkles for a pop of sweetness. It’s ready in less than 5 minutes, and it’s addictively good. Crunchy, satisfying, and I guarantee you can’t just stop at one handful. I store it in the freezer because I like it slightly chilled and extra crunchy.

about 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
Combine peanut butter and Nutella in a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat to melt, about 1 minute on high power. Stir to combine. (I only use commercial peanut butter like Jif or Peter Pan and have not tried it with homemade peanut butter)
Add the pretzels, peanuts, and stir to coat evenly.
Add 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, and toss to coat evenly. Mix should be fairly dry. Add 1/2 cup additional sugar, or as needed, to dry it out.
Add sprinkles, tossing well to distribute.
Transfer mix to a one-gallon plastic ziptop bag or other airtight container. Serve immediately, or serve chilled. I prefer to store this mix the freezer. It will keep airtight at room temperature for weeks, or in the freezer for months. Recipe may be kept gluten-free by using gluten-free pretzels.
