Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup pretzel twists, roughly crushed
- 1 cup candy corn
- Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place pretzel twists in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or heavy glass into small pieces (mix of fine crumbs and pea-sized chunks). Set aside.
- Put white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until mostly melted (about 1 to 1.5 minutes total). Stir until smooth.
- Pour melted white chocolate onto prepared baking sheet. Spread into an even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick with a spatula.
- While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed pretzels evenly over the surface. Scatter candy corn on top, pressing gently so they stick.
- Place baking sheet in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes, or until chocolate is completely firm. Alternatively, let set at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Lift parchment paper off baking sheet. Break bark into irregular pieces with your hands.
Notes
Don’t overheat white chocolate; microwave in 30-second intervals. Work quickly as white chocolate sets fast. Use fresh candy corn for best texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For freezing, layer pieces with parchment paper in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
