Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) bag White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Peanuts
- 3/4 cup Crushed Pretzels
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter: Over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter in a saucepan. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix in nuts and pretzels: Remove the melted mixture from heat and immediately stir in the peanuts and crushed pretzels, evenly distributing them throughout the mixture.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Using a spatula, spread it evenly into a thin layer to create the bark shape.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to harden completely, usually about 1 hour.
- Break into pieces: Once the bark is firm, remove from the refrigerator and break into irregular pieces for serving or gifting.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; crunchy peanut butter can be used for extra crunch.
- Ensure low heat when melting white chocolate to prevent scorching and graininess.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle with dark chocolate before chilling.
- Can be customized with other nuts or candies as desired.
