Pretzel and Nut Bark Recipe

Here’s one of my favorite and super-easy Christmas sweets.

Pretzel and Nut Bark

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup thin pretzels broken into small chunks

2/4 cup salted nuts of any kind (I use mixed nuts)

1/3 cup white chocolate chips or almond bark

2 Tablespoons (more or less) of Christmas colored sprinkles (any style)

Line 13×9″ pan with foil so that the foil hangs over the edges.  In a large bowl, microwave the semisweet chocolate chips 1-2 minutes.  (Stir the chips after one minute, microwave in 30 second increments until chips are melted.)  Stir in pretzels and nuts.  Spread in pan.

In a smaller bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips or almond bark for 1 minute or until melted.  Place melted chocolate in a plastic ziptop baggie.  Snip the corner and squeeze the chocolate over the bark in the pan.  Lightly cover with sprinkles.  Chill for about 1 hour (until firm).

Lift the bark out by the foil, then peel the foil away.  Break the bark into pieces.  Keep chilled until ready to eat.
