Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark

Hi again, y’all! Marye from Restless Chipotle here to share a quick and easy candy recipe that’s just perfect for holiday giving. I don’t know about your family, but mine all have a sweet tooth the size of one of those prehistoric sabertooth tiger’s. Maybe bigger. Especially around the holidays we all let down our guards a little and enjoy treats more than usual.

One thing I like to make is candy. It’s one of those things that people just don’t make much anymore — when’s the last time someone you know had a taffy pull?

This easy peanut butter pretzel bark is a great holiday gift. From RestlessChipotle.com

See what I mean?

All of that changes around the holidays. Everyone digs out their family recipes for fudge, peanut brittle, and pralines and makes pounds of sugary sweets. The sugar companies absolutely love us.

The thing is that candy can be persnickety. If it’s too humid, too hot, too cold, or you’re not holding your mouth right you can end up with a sticky mess. That’s why I like microwave candies. They are quick, and easy plus every bit as good as the more complex kinds. This peanut butter pretzel bark is so easy that your older elementary kids can make it. You have to have three microwave and oven safe bowls. I used my French Onion Soup bowls — you know, the crockery kind with handles? After you’ve melted the chocolate in the microwave you keep it in a warm oven so that it doesn’t harden up. You don’t want to put a bowl in there and have it explode everywhere. It’s a mess to clean up and more importantly…

It’s a waste of good chocolate.

    Hi
    This is so delicious!!! I took it to a friend’s as a hostess gift and she loved it so much she looked up the recipe herself! What might be helpful is for the recipe to also list the ingredients by weight, because it’s hard to know what number of blocks (which are by weight) to buy.
    But aside from that – thank you!!!

    Could I use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate?

      I would think you could easily use dark chocolate chips.

    Everyone loved the flavours but wondered why you said to use an 8×8 pan? It turned out much too thick. We jokingly referred to it as “brick” instead of bark. Happy New Year to all!
