Make this easy, no-bake peanut butter pretzel bark with layers of salty pretzels, creamy peanut butter filling, and chocolate topping. It is a fast, crunchy, sweet and salty snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini pretzels, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread this layer evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until fully combined and smooth. This is your peanut butter layer.
  4. Remove the pan from the freezer. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the set chocolate layer. Sprinkle the crushed pretzels evenly over the peanut butter layer. Gently press the pretzels down slightly.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals until smooth. Drizzle or spread the melted white chocolate over the pretzel layer.
  6. Use a knife or offset spatula to create swirls if desired. Return the bark to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
  7. Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Break the bark into irregular pieces before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate for the bottom layer.
  • If you do not have powdered sugar, you can substitute it with 1/4 cup of melted butter mixed into the peanut butter for a slightly softer texture.
  • You can use whole pretzels for a different look, but crushing them slightly helps the layers adhere better.
