Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 cup mini pretzel twists
- 1/2 cup candy corn
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Have pretzels and candy corn measured and ready.
- Place white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted (about 1 minute 30 seconds total). If chocolate seems thick, stir in 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening.
- Gently fold in mini pretzel twists with a spatula until evenly coated. Do not overmix.
- Pour the chocolate-pretzel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle candy corn evenly over the warm chocolate. Press them in gently with fingers or spatula. Add Halloween sprinkles if using.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or until chocolate is firm and no longer sticky. (For a quicker set, freeze for 10 minutes.)
- Once set, lift the bark off the parchment and break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
White chocolate burns easily; melt in short intervals. For cleaner breaks, let bark set fully in the fridge. If chocolate seizes, stir in a teaspoon of warm coconut oil or heavy cream. Store at room temperature to avoid condensation.
