Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups mini pretzels, lightly crushed
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the peanut butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes 60 to 90 seconds total.
- Stir the crushed pretzels into the melted peanut butter and chocolate mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Press it down lightly with a spatula.
- If using, melt the white chocolate chips separately using the same microwave method. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the bark.
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the bark is completely firm.
- Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Break or cut the bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you want a thicker bark, use a 9×5 inch loaf pan instead of an 8×8 inch pan.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile.
