- Spread coated pretzels onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment or wax paper in a single layer.
- Optionally sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the top.

Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing. Don’t overload pretzels with peanut butter to keep crunch. Let bites set properly to avoid sogginess. For nut allergies, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed or soy nut butter. Gluten-free pretzels can be used for gluten-free option. Optional toppings like flaky sea salt or mini chocolate chips add flavor contrast.
