White Chocolate Pretzel & Peanut Stacks

Brace yourself for the easiest, most addictive holiday treat you’ll make this season: White Chocolate Pretzel & Peanut Stacks! These little bundles of sweet, salty, and crunchy goodness are a staple in the Speelman family and a holiday favorite that my neighbors devour every year (no leftovers ever). Made with just three simple ingredients, these stacks are ready in a pinch—perfect for last-minute holiday parties, New Year’s gatherings, or a late-night snack attack!

Why These Stacks Are So Irresistible

My love affair with these stacks began thanks to my mother-in-law, who introduced me to them as a holiday must-have. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity—crunchy gluten-free pretzels, salted peanuts, and creamy white chocolate all come together to make a treat that’s both sophisticated and snackable. Now that I’ve found gluten-free pretzel sticks, I can finally dive in and enjoy them along with the whole family!

Ingredients

• 8 oz bag of gluten-free pretzel sticks
• 8 oz can of cocktail peanuts
• 1 bag of white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

Prepare the Pretzels

In a large bowl, snap the pretzel sticks in half to create smaller pieces. This will help make the stacks easier to eat and ensures every bite is full of pretzel-y goodness.

Add the Peanuts

Add the cocktail peanuts to the bowl with the pretzels, giving everything a good stir to evenly mix. This combination of salty pretzels and crunchy peanuts is what makes these stacks seriously addictive.

Melt the White Chocolate

In a small saucepan over medium heat, slowly melt the white chocolate chips, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. You want it silky smooth for maximum coating.

Combine and Scoop

Pour the melted white chocolate over the pretzel and peanut mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated in chocolate. Using a medium-sized spoon, scoop small mounds of the mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper, spacing them out slightly.

Set and Serve

Allow the stacks to set and harden at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Once firm, they’re ready to enjoy! (Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week—if they last that long!)

Why You’ll Love These Stacks

These White Chocolate Pretzel & Peanut Stacks are perfect for gifting, sharing, or enjoying on your own.
