Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (64.5 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (55 g) crushed pretzels, plus more for topping
- ¾ cup (110 g) dry roasted, salted peanuts, plus more for topping
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each to ensure smooth melting. Alternatively, melt them using a double boiler over low heat.
- Mix in pretzels and peanuts: Stir the crushed pretzels and dry roasted peanuts into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the combined mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even, thin layer with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle a few extra crushed pretzels, peanuts, and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top to add extra texture and flavor.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 to 60 minutes until the bark is firm.
- Serve: Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy your sweet and salty treat!
Notes
- Use high-quality milk chocolate for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent burning.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sea salt based on your taste preference.
