Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups of pretzel sticks
- 1 cup of candy corn
- 1 cup of peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and create easy removal.
- Spread the pretzel sticks in an even, single layer across the prepared parchment paper, creating a uniform base for the bark.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and fully melted.
- Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the pretzel layer, using a spatula to ensure complete and consistent coverage.
- Immediately sprinkle peanut butter chips across the chocolate-covered pretzels, distributing them uniformly.
- Scatter candy corn pieces generously over the chocolate and peanut butter chip layer, creating a colorful and textured surface.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened.
- Remove from refrigerator and break or cut the bark into irregular, rustic pieces using a sharp knife or your hands.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate to maintain its crisp texture.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth melting and even distribution of chocolate and chips.
- For a cleaner break, let the bark cool completely before cutting or breaking into pieces.
- If you want a more uniform look, use a ruler to mark cutting lines before breaking the bark.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate - dark, milk, or white chocolate can all work wonderfully.
- Store the bark in a cool place to prevent the candy corn from getting sticky.
- For a more decadent version, drizzle additional melted peanut butter or white chocolate on top.
- If you're making this for kids, supervise the melting process and help with cutting the bark.
- The bark can be made ahead of time and stored for up to a week in an airtight container.
