Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (64.5 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (55 g) crushed pretzels, plus extra for topping
- ¾ cup (110 g) dry roasted salted peanuts, plus extra for topping
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the bark from sticking.
- Melt white chocolate and peanut butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter together by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each until the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, melt them gently in a double boiler over low heat.
- Add crushed pretzels and peanuts: Stir the crushed pretzels and dry roasted salted peanuts into the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture on baking sheet: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Top with extra ingredients: Sprinkle additional crushed pretzels, peanuts, and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Chill until set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the bark is firm and set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Break and serve: Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and break it into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can use either a microwave or double boiler to melt the chocolate and peanut butter; just be careful to avoid overheating.
- For extra crunch, add more crushed pretzels or peanuts as toppings.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and crisp.
- This bark can be customized by adding other mix-ins like dried fruit or chocolate drizzle.
- If you prefer less salty, adjust the amount of salted peanuts or skip the additional sea salt topping.
