Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Topping

  • 2 cups pretzels, roughly crushed

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate and peanut butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, gently melt the chopped chocolate and peanut butter together, stirring frequently until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Spread the mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to evenly spread it into a thin, flat layer about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Add pretzel topping: Immediately sprinkle the crushed pretzels evenly over the melted mixture. Press them lightly into the surface to ensure they stick well.
  4. Chill until set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the bark is fully hardened and set.
  5. Break into pieces and serve: Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces and enjoy or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of pretzels to your preferred crunchiness or saltiness.
  • To avoid melting issues, melt chocolate and peanut butter slowly over low heat or in short microwave bursts.
  • Store the bark in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • This recipe is easy to customize by adding nuts, sea salt, or drizzling white chocolate on top.
