Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

18 (1 ounce) white chocolate baking squares
3 cups pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces but not crushed, then measured
2 cups salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water until smooth.
  • (You can also melt in the microwave in a 2 quart glass dish. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir. Microwave on high for 1 minute more and stir. If necessary, microwave on high for 10 seconds more and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.).
  • Stir in the pretzel pieces and peanuts. (Stir well with a flexible spatula.).
  • Spoon onto the prepared cookie sheet, spreading the mixture out so that ingredients are relatively evenly distributed.
  • Allow for the chocolate to cool for several hours or refrigerate for about 45 minutes, until firm.
  • Break the bark into irregular pieces, like peanut brittle.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semi-sweet or dark chocolate will work well.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it's ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it's ready.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize and become unusable.
  • If you're using a microwave to melt the chocolate, do so in short bursts, stirring in between, to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to make it easy to remove the bark once it's set.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use any kind of nuts, pretzels, candy, or dried fruit that you like.
  • Let the bark cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cookie Pretzel Peanut Bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover cookies and pretzels, and it's always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give this recipe a try!
