Notes
- Use High-Quality Chocolate – A good-quality white chocolate or candy melts will ensure a smooth texture and better flavor.
- Melt Chocolate Slowly – Use 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each to prevent burning. Alternatively, use a double boiler for more control.

- Topping Variations – Feel free to customize your bark with gold sprinkles, mini marshmallows, crushed Oreos, or green sanding sugar for extra texture and color.
- Crunchy Additions – If you love a crunch, try adding crushed graham crackers, Rice Krispies, or chopped nutsalong with the pretzels.
- Let It Set Completely – Refrigerate the bark for at least 30 minutes or leave it at room temperature until fully hardened before breaking it into pieces.
- Storage Tips – Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks for a firmer texture.
