Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  2. Break the almond bark into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Microwave the almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat.
  4. Fold the chopped peanuts and broken pretzel sticks into the melted almond bark until evenly coated.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Alternatively, spread the mixture into a single layer about 1/2 inch thick if making bark sheets.
  6. Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or until firm.
  7. Break or cut the cooled almond bark into bite-sized pieces.

Note

Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Avoid refrigeration as moisture can cause sugar bloom on the bark.

Substitutions: For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and increase the pretzels slightly. You can also use white chocolate chips instead of almond bark, though they may require a bit more stirring to melt smoothly.

Tip: Work quickly once the bark is melted, as it can start to set as it cools. If it becomes too thick, microwave for another 10 seconds and stir.

Variations: Add a pinch of sea salt on top before the bark sets for an extra salty kick, or mix in dried cranberries for a tart contrast.
