Chocolate Pretzel Barks
 
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • Four cups chocolate chips (For the dark chocolate bark I used one cup milk chocolate, one cup semisweet chocolate, and two cups bittersweet. For the peanut butter bark, I used three cups milk chocolate and one cup semisweet chocolate.)
  • Three teaspoons shortening
  • 7-8 ounces pretzels
  • Sea salt for sprinkling
  • Eight ounces peanut butter
  • Parchment paper
  • Jelly roll pan
Instructions
  1. Create a double boiler using a sauce pan and a heat proof bowl to place on top. Fill the saucepan with water and heat to boil. Place the chocolate and the shortening in the bowl.
  2. Stir the chocolate mixture frequently until melted. Meanwhile line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and scatter pretzels evenly on pan.
  3. When the chocolate is melted, pour over pretzels. Use a spatula to get all of the chocolate from the bowl and to spread it around over the pretzels. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Refrigerate until cooled and hardened. Break the bark and enjoy!
  5. To make the peanut butter bark, place peanut butter in tablespoons onto parchment paper. Pour chocolate mixture over peanut butter and gently make figure-eights with spatula to create marbling. Place pretzels onto mixture and then refrigerate.
