Going grocery shopping with a crazy toddler who wants everything he sees and is constantly trying to climb out of the cart and a baby who mostly behaves himself but has been known to fly off the handle without any notice, is stressful to say the least!

I’ve started this delicious tradition where I always pick up a small bag of bark thins for myself while standing in the checkout lane. It’s either a reward for making it through the shopping trip without any tears or if it’s been a terrible trip, it’s a bag of chocolate for me to drown my sorrows in.

Bark Thins are kind of expensive for a little bag so I decided to make my own!

How To Make This Chocolate Pretzel Bark:

First you chop up your pretzels. You can make them as small or large as you want. It’s a little harder to make an actual sheet of bark if you leave them whole so I would recommend chopping them up a little bit. You can use any shape of pretzels you like. The small rods would work well.
Next you melt your chocolate. You can either melt your chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. We don’t have a microwave so I just boiled a pot of water, put the chocolate in a glass bowl and placed it over the pot of boiling water. You want the bowl it to be slightly sitting out of the water but covering the opening of the pot. Then you just stir the chocolate until it melts.
Lastly, you add the chopped pretzels to the melted chocolate, stir until all the pretzels are coated with chocolate and then spread it out on a sheet pan covered with a non-stick mat or parchment paper. Place it in the refrigerator until hardened and then break into pieces.

What Kind Of Chocolate Should I Use?

Any kind you like! I used Enjoy Life Foods dairy free chocolate chunks. They’re more of a dark chocolate so they’re not super sweet but also not bitter. You could use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate.

Fun Things To Add To Your Chocolate Pretzel Bark:

Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, peanuts)
Dried Fruit (cranberries, cherries, blueberries, apricots, mango)
Crushed peppermints
Candy
