Sweet and Salty Bark

Peanut and Pretzel Chocolate Bark

This recipe is simple and quick to make, making it an excellent choice for satisfying sweet cravings in a hurry.

We've used milk chocolate candy melts in this recipe for a delicious, easy-to-make recipe. If using real milk chocolate (ingredient list will list cocoa butter and/or cocoa liquor), then the chocolate should be tempered, or the bark will remain tacky or have streaks throughout.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds milk chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups peanuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups pretzels, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper onto the counter. If the white chocolate is in block form, chop the chocolate into uniform pieces. Place the white chocolate candy wafers or chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate using 20 second intervals, stirring in between to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and doesn’t scorch. Continue melting until the chocolate is fluid.
Immediately add the peanuts and pretzels. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
Use a spatula and spread the bark as thin as possible on the parchment paper.
When the bark is just set, score using a pastry wheel, or allow to set up completely at room temperature before breaking into pieces.

How to Store Sweet and Salty Bark

Sweet and salty bark can be kept at room temperature for several weeks. You can also make the candy bark up to 4 months ahead of time if you freeze the bark. For best results, place the bark candy in a candy box that is lined with plastic wrap. Wrap the entire box with plastic wrap, and then a layer of foil. Place in the freezer for up to two months. Bring the chocolate to room temperature before unwrapping the box.
