Instructions
Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper onto the counter. If the chocolate is in block form, chop the chocolate into uniform pieces. Place the chocolate candy wafers or chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate using 20 second intervals, stirring in between to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and doesn’t scorch. Continue melting until the chocolate is fluid.
Immediately add the pretzel pieces. Stir until pretzels are incorporated.
Use a spatula and spread the bark as thin as possible on the parchment paper.
When the bark is just set, score using a pastry wheel, or allow to set up completely at room temperature before breaking into pieces.
You can also use this mixture to create molded chocolates. Simply add the melted chocolate and pretzels mixture to your favorite chocolate mold.
Once the chocolate is set flex the mold to release the candy.
Chocolate bark with pretzels can be kept at room temperature for several weeks. You can also make the candy bark up to 4 months ahead of time if you freeze the bark. For best results, place the bark candy in a candy box that is lined with plastic wrap. Wrap the entire box with plastic wrap, and then a layer of foil. Place in the freezer for up to two months. Bring the chocolate to room temperature before unwrapping the box.
