Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) bag White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Peanuts
- 3/4 cup Crushed Pretzels
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the bark from sticking.
- 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.
- Mix in Peanuts and Pretzels: Stir the peanuts and crushed pretzels into the melted mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- 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.
- Refrigerate to Harden: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to harden completely, which typically takes about 1 hour.
- 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.
