This recipe makes a great holiday treat to take to a cookie exchange or drop off on a friends doorstep.

Another reason why I love this peanut butter chocolate bark is because it tastes like a flattened Reeces egg with pretzel on top <3

Ingredients

Chocolate Chips: This recipe calls for two cups of chocolate chips, I used dark chocolate morsels. Use dairy free chocolate chips if needed!

Coconut oil: If you don't have coconut oil, any other type of oil will work!

Pretzels: Feel free to use gluten free pretzels if you need! I used some pretzels rods crushed up.

Peanut butter: I used creamy peanut butter but chunky would work and I think it would taste amazing too!

How to Make

The base layer: Make the chocolate in a small bowl with coconut oil. To prevent burning, I do 30 second intervals in my microwave. You could also use a double broiler option.

When you pour the chocolate onto the waxed paper or parchment paper, make sure the pan it's on fits in the freezer. I have a side by side fridge so I actually moved my chocolate to a cutting board to fit.

Middle + top layer: The peanut butter and powdered sugar spreads better with a spoon onto the frozen chocolate.

For the crushed up pretzels, I placed them in a plastic bag and gave it a few good whacks with my meat tenderizer lol.

FAQs and Tips

Does this need to be kept refrigerated?

It does well out of the refrigerator for about 8 hours, but to keep the chocolate from getting a little melty, I would place it in the refrigerator when not in use.

How big of a pan do I need to spread the chocolate?

As long as the pan is about the size of a piece of paper you will be fine. Look at the pictures above for reference.

What is the easiest way to cut this peanut butter chocolate bark?

Once the whole thing is done freezing, I removed it from the freezer with the parchment paper attached and placed it on the cutting board. Cut
the bark with a large chef knife.
