Ever notice that there’s always a time crunch when getting ready for Halloween? That’s why these easy, no-bake Peanut Butter Monster Mounds are so convenient. They require no baking, can be made weeks ahead and stored (as long as you hide them) until the big day, ghosts, ghouls, and monsters young and old love them, and they look very festive since they sport Halloween colors. They are perfect to pack up and take to friends, or they look very nice on the annual Halloween BOO-ffet.

White almond bark is available at most grocery stores on the baking aisle near the chocolate chips; you can substitute white baking chips, or candy melts. As far as the candy, you can use your favorite non-chocolate Halloween candy, such as jelly pumpkins, candy corns, jelly beans, buttercream pumpkins, or autumn mix.

1 1/2 pounds vanilla flavored almond bark, chopped
1 3/4 cups peanut butter

6 cups thin pretzel sticks, broken
