This easy chocolate toffee pretzel bark is a twist on the traditional Christmas crack recipe. The finished product is a delicious combination of salty pretzels, buttery toffee, and sweet chocolate.

It’s perfect for gifting, cookie exchanges, and movie night snacking. It’s so simple, you don’t even need a candy thermometer. The hardest part is stopping yourself from eating the whole pan!

Supplies:

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Small saucepan
• Wooden spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons

Pretzel Bark Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 6 ounces of pretzels
• 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips

How to make Pretzel Toffee:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Line a baking pan with parchment or wax paper.

3. Place pretzels on the sheet in a single layer.

4. Combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. 

5. Heat and stir until mixture comes to a boil.

6. Pour over the pretzels and place in the oven to cook for 10 minutes.

Tip: try to make sure that the pretzels remain in an even layer.

7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee.

8. Spread the melted chocolate over the whole thing with the back of a spoon.

9. Allow the pan to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to set.

10. After about an hour, remove cookie sheet from the fridge and break the pretzel toffee bark into bite sized pieces.

Tips and tricks:

• Use any size or style of pretzel you want, big, small, twisted, or straight. I personally really like to use mini pretzels. I find that they give me the perfect salty/sweet ratio.
• Save yourself the measuring and just use one regular-sized bag of chocolate chips. It’s the ideal amount for this recipe.
• This candy will keep for five days at room temperature. Be sure to store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
• I like to give out small bags or boxes of pretzel toffee as gifts for teachers during the holiday season. Pick up some holiday themed containers, ribbon or twine, and gift tags at your favourite local dollar store and put the packages together.

Additional toppings:

• Add nuts for even more salty crunch. Spread peanuts or whole pecans over the bark before you put it in the oven and the nuts will get nice and toasty. Alternatively, you can chop the nuts and add them on top of the melted chocolate layer. They will stick nicely once the chocolate has hardened.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and/or extra toffee bits.
• You could also use colored sugar or sprinkles to coordinate with the season.
• For a different look and flavour, try white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix.
