When watching the big game, you’ll need some delicious, salty-sweet treats! This Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark is perfect to satisfy any craving for chocolate and peanut butter!
If you know me at all, you’ll quickly realize that I adore any type of salty-sweet snack. This Peanut butter Pretzel Bark is the most wonderful salty-sweet treat, perfect for any occasion. With the Super Bowl in just a couple weeks, this snack is definitely perfect to have on hand for watching the big game.
Made with some really simple ingredients, this snack bark is super-easy to make. The base is chocolate swirled with melted peanut butter chips, and topped with salted peanuts, pretzel twists and mini peanut butter cups! So simple and so delicious!
To make sure your bark comes off the surface your working with, make sure to line it with waxed paper, parchment paper or some type of plastic wrap that will allow the bark to peel off easily. I actually used press and seal wrap, as I was out of waxed paper.
Once I added all of my toppings, I put the bark in the freezer for about 20 minutes for it to set and harden completely. From here, your bark will peel right off the paper. You can break it into snack sized pieces in any way you like.
This bark is wonderful for about any occasion! Fantastic for watching the big game, enjoying with friends and family during movie night, or packing up for your next pot-luck or tailgating event!
Here’s the easy recipe for this delicious treat:
- 1 pkg (16 oz.) of Chocolate Candy Quik
- 1 pkg (about 1⅔ c.) Peanut Butter Chips
- 1 heaping tsp. shortening
- 1½ c. pretzel twists (or any other type of pretzel)
- ⅔ c. salted, dry roasted peanuts
- ⅔ c. mini peanut butter cups
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Set aside. Set out the pretzels, peanuts and peanut butter cups, so they are ready to go when you need them.
- In the microwave, melt the chocolate candy quik according to package directions. (If using this product, it will come in a microwave-safe melting tray. This works well.) In a seperate microwave safe bowl, add the shortening to the peanut butter chips, and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and heat on 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth. Immediately spread the chocolate onto the pan into a large rectangle, about ¼" thick. Pour the melted peanut butter chips over the top of the chocolate, and using a spatula, swirl the two together. Working quickly, sprinkle on the pretzels, peanuts and peanut butter chips. Freeze for about 20 minutes for the bark to set and harden. Break into snack sized pieces. Enjoy!
As you can see, this is a wonderfully easy treat to make and have on hand for about any occasion. Enjoy! ~Erin
