Ingredients

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini pretzels
• 3 pieces peppermint candy canes
• 2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles
• 0.5 cup holiday-themed candy-coated chocolates

Directions

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy removal of the bark once it hardens.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes).

Step 3

Pour the melted semisweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, roughly 1/4-inch thick, using a spatula. Set it aside to cool slightly but do not let it harden completely.

Step 4

In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes).

Step 5

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semisweet chocolate layer in a random pattern, using a spoon or piping bag for more precision if desired.

Step 6

Scatter the mini pretzels evenly across the surface of the chocolate layers. Press them down gently so they adhere to the melted chocolate.

Step 7

Crush the peppermint candy canes into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the bark for a festive touch.

Step 8

Top the bark with red and green sprinkles and holiday-themed candy-coated chocolates, distributing them evenly over the surface.

Step 9

Let the bark set at room temperature for about 2 hours or place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 10

Once the bark has hardened, break it into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
