Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate)
- 1.5 cups chopped pretzels
- Coarse sea salt, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Melting the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips using a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each burst until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler by placing a heatproof glass bowl over simmering water and stirring until smooth.
- Mixing the Pretzels: Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, gently fold in the chopped pretzels ensuring all pieces are well coated with chocolate.
- Preparing the Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat. Spread the chocolate-pretzel mixture evenly over the lined baking sheet to your desired thickness.
- Adding Sea Salt (Optional): Lightly sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top of the spread mixture to enhance the flavor and add a salty crunch.
- Chilling the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serving: Once firm, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the bark for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
- You can substitute pretzels with other crunchy salty snacks such as salted nuts or crackers to customize the bark.
- Use coarse sea salt sparingly to balance the sweetness of the chocolate without overpowering the flavor.
