DARK CHOCOLATE PRETZEL BARK WITH SEA SALT
This dark chocolate pretzel bark is the most exquisite combination of salty and sweet and richness that one could ever want. It is so so so easy to make (and quick!) and is perfect for keeping in the refrigerator for quick snacks or dessert.
I’m one of those people that loves to immediately follow up dinner with a small, sweet something. My husband will never understand me. But then I run into that never-ending loop, where you eat something sweet. Then you want something salty. And then you want something sweet. And then 500 calories later, you’re wondering why those jeans you bought last week don’t fit anymore.
In the undying words of Dad, “my dessert compartment is not full.” But this dark chocolate pretzel bark is the perfect little sweet and salty bite to nip my cravings in the bud. Annnnnnnnnnd to replace the bark thins I bought for David and then hypothetically ate.
Ingredients:
8 oz Ghirardelli semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
8 oz dark chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pretzels
2 hefty pinches of sea salt
Instructions:
- Line a 9" x 13" baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place all chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir chocolate and continue to microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Be sure that no water comes in contact with the chocolate or it will seize!
- Stir 3/4 of the pretzels into the melted chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread evenly over the entire pan. Try to smooth out the chocolate so that the pretzels are evenly dispersed throughout the bark. Sprinkle the remaining pretzels over the top of the bark, filling in areas that have less pretzel. Lightly tap the pretzel pieces to make sure they sit in the chocolate.
