Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups peanut butter
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- 0.5 cups crushed pretzels
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, ensuring it is flat and smooth.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Once melted, fold in the roasted salted peanuts and crushed pretzels until they are evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly to your desired thickness using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is completely set and hardened.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and break the peanut bark into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the crunchy peanut bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
