Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bark will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
  • Be sure to melt the chocolate slowly. This will help prevent it from seizing.
  • Stir in the pretzels and nuts as soon as the chocolate is melted. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bark.
  • Pour the mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will make it easy to remove the bark once it's set.
  • Chill the bark for at least 30 minutes before breaking it into pieces. This will help it set properly.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:
