Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark

Desperation Dinners


Recipe Introduction


Start to finish: 10 minutes preparation time, plus 30 minutes refrigeration time. Note: The only peanut butter chips we could find were the Reese's brand. If you find a different brand that weighs 12 ounces, that will work, too.
The first time we tested this we used butterscotch morsels instead of peanut butter chips by mistake, but everyone loved it! This is great both ways.

List of Ingredients




1/2 bag (about 7 1/2 ounces) thin pretzels
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips (see Note)
1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter




Recipe



Line a cookie sheet with foil, and set it aside. (Or, if a cookie sheet won't fit in your refrigerator, use a 13 X 9-inch baking pan.)

Pour the pretzels into a gallon-size, zipper-top plastic bag. Seal the bag, and use the palm of your hand to break up (but not crush) the pretzels into pieces. You should have about 3 cups pieces. Set them aside.

Pour both packages of chips into a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Add the peanut butter. Microwave, uncovered on high, for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir. Continue to microwave just until the chips are completely melted, about 1 minute more.

Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well mixed. Add the pretzel pieces, and stir just until they are coated. Pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet, and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Refrigerate until the bark is hard, about 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator, and let the bark come almost back to room temperature, about 10 minutes, and then break into bite-size pieces. Refrigerate the pieces in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Makes about 36 pieces
