Scale
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 to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Over low heat, gently melt the white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter together in a saucepan or double boiler. Stir frequently to ensure a smooth and even mixture without burning.
- Mix in Peanuts and Pretzels: Once the chocolate and peanut butter have melted and combined smoothly, fold in the peanuts and crushed pretzels until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spread Mixture on Baking Sheet: Pour the peanut butter-chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Chill to Harden: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to chill until completely set and firm, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
- Break into Pieces: Remove the hardened bark from the refrigerator and break it into irregular pieces for serving or gifting.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the white chocolate from burning and seizing.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle additional crushed pretzels or peanuts on top before chilling.
- Can be made with crunchy or creamy peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- This recipe is naturally vegetarian and requires no baking.
