Ingredients
  

2 cups pretzel rods (broken into smaller pieces)

2 cups dark chocolate chips (about 70% cocoa)

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil (for glossy finish)

½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (plus more for finishing)

Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, almonds, or peanuts)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire bottom and sides for easy lifting once the bark is set.

    Melt Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.

      Combine Pretzels: Stir the broken pretzel pieces (and optional nuts if using) into the melted dark chocolate until well coated.

        Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate-pretzel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it out in an even layer (about ¼-inch thick).

          Melt White Chocolate: Clean the microwave-safe bowl and add the white chocolate chips. Repeat the melting process, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.

            Drizzle White Chocolate: Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate pretzel layer in a zig-zag pattern for a decorative touch.

              Sprinkle Sea Salt: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top. This will enhance the sweet and salty flavor profile.

                Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.

                  Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the refrigerator and carefully lift it out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper. Break it into irregular pieces for a rustic look.

                    Store and Enjoy: Store the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pretzel Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week (if it lasts that long!).
