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 aside to prevent the bark from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter: Over low heat, gently melt together the bag of white chocolate chips and the creamy peanut butter, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth and even mixture without burning.
- Add peanuts and pretzels: Once the chocolate and peanut butter have completely melted and combined, stir in the peanuts and crushed pretzels evenly throughout the mixture.
- Spread mixture: Pour the combined mixture onto the prepared parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it into an even, thin layer to ensure it sets well and breaks easily into bark pieces.
- Chill and set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to harden completely, which usually takes about an hour. Once set, remove from the fridge and break the bark into bite-sized pieces for serving.
Notes
- Be sure to melt the chocolate and peanut butter over low heat to avoid burning.
- You can substitute roasted salted peanuts for extra flavor.
- For a variation, try using milk or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and crunchy.
- This recipe is perfect for gifting during holidays or special occasions.
