What is Pretzel Bark?

Pretzel bark is a simple and delicious treat made with melted chocolate and crunchy pretzels, often topped with extras like nuts, candy, or sprinkles. The base typically uses high-quality chocolate—milk, dark, or white—spread thinly and topped with a variety of ingredients like dried fruits, crushed cookies, or sea salt. Once the chocolate hardens, you’re left with a sweet, crunchy snack that’s easily customizable and perfect for any occasion.

Tips for Perfect Pretzel Bark

For the best flavor, choose good-quality chocolate. Whether you’re using milk, dark, or white chocolate, the quality of the chocolate will make a big difference in taste.
When melting chocolate, do it slowly to avoid burning. Stir frequently and stop when the chocolate is just smooth.
Customize your toppings! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different toppings—add dried fruit, crushed cookies, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a savory finish.
Once your pretzel bark has set, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you’re making it ahead for a special event or gift, it also freezes well for up to 3 months.

How long will chocolate bark keep?

Chocolate bark will typically keep for up to two weeks when stored properly. To ensure it stays fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place. If you need to store it for a longer period, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container before freezing. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, let it thaw at room temperature.

Can I use gluten-free pretzels for pretzel bark?

Yes! If you’re gluten-free, simply swap regular pretzels for gluten-free pretzels. The recipe will be just as delicious, and you won’t miss the crunch!

Can I make pretzel bark in advance?

Yes! Pretzel bark is perfect for making ahead. Just store it in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place. If you’re making it for a holiday or special occasion, it’ll last up to two weeks!

Can I use other kinds of chocolate?
