Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz) bag White Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Peanuts
  • 3/4 cup Crushed Pretzels

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the bark from sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Over low heat, gently melt the white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter together, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix in Peanuts and Pretzels: Stir the peanuts and crushed pretzels into the melted mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Spread Mixture: Pour the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out into an even, thin layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  5. Refrigerate to Harden: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to harden completely, which typically takes about 1 hour.
  6. Break Into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the refrigerator and break it into irregular bite-sized pieces for serving or storage.

Notes

  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for an extra texture contrast.
  • Use salted or unsalted peanuts depending on your preference for sweetness or saltiness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with sunflower seeds and ensure the peanut butter is replaced with a seed butter.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To speed up hardening, you can place the bark in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
