How to Make Pecan Pretzel Chocolate Bark
I am a big fan of desserts that combine salty and sweet flavors, so that was how this bark was born. It starts with a crunchy pretzel and pecan mixture. It just takes a few minutes to mix up the chopped pretzels and pecans with brown sugar and butter. Then bake it and let cool to create the topping for this bark.
How to Customize This Chocolate Bark
This chocolate bark recipe can be customized based on your preferences or what ingredients you have in the house! You could use a different type of chocolate such as white chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate. You could also omit the nuts if necessary.
