Ingredients
- 1 bag of pretzels
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M's candies
- 1/4 cup sea salt
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the surface to prevent sticking.
- Arrange pretzels in a single, even layer across the entire parchment-lined baking sheet, creating a consistent base for the bark.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth melting and prevent burning.
- Once chocolate is completely melted and smooth, carefully pour the mixture over the pretzels, using a spatula to spread evenly and cover all pretzels.
- Immediately sprinkle M&M's candies across the melted chocolate layer, pressing them gently to ensure they adhere to the chocolate surface.
- Lightly dust the entire surface with sea salt, distributing it evenly to enhance the sweet and salty flavor profile.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to set for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate is completely hardened.
- Remove from refrigerator and break or cut into irregular pieces for a rustic, homemade appearance.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Always melt chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning. A smooth, glossy chocolate is key to a perfect bark.
- Even Distribution: When spreading chocolate and adding M&M's, aim for consistent coverage to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Salt Matters: Use high-quality sea salt and sprinkle it lightly for a sophisticated sweet-salty balance.
- Chilling Technique: Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator for the best texture and easiest breaking.
- Storage Hack: For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
