It’s a documented fact that pretzels and chocolate go together like peanut butter and jelly. Delicious. As I was whipping up a few dishes for the decorations party, I decided I needed a sweet Halloween treat. Chocolate and pretzels are a good start, but I needed more.
At this time of year candy corn is as ubiquitous Fall leaves changing color so you know I have some in my cupboard. Now, as much as I love candy corn, after about 10 pieces I can get sweeted-out (You know, until 5 minutes later when I go back for another handful….). The pretzels are the perfect foil to balance the sugar shock of the candy corns. Halloween candy + pretzels + chocolate = a winning combination.
I picked up the extensive ingredients list for this treat:
- 24 oz Dark chocolate
- 2 Cups mini-twists pretzels
- 1 Cup candy corn + 1 Cup for eating while you are making the bark
Using the same method I used to make jelly bean bark, I heated the chocolate and spread it on to my baking sheet lined with Silpat. I then sprinkled the pretzels and candy corn, pressing in gently so they would set in the chocolate.
After the chocolate was hard, I broke the bark into pieces. This is best eaten the day it’s prepared. If you have leftovers, seal in an air tight container so the pretzels won’t lose their crisp.
