Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 12 Oreos quartered
  • about 1 1/2 cups pretzels coarsely chopped or broken
  • ¾ cup salted peanuts
  • 1 pound dark chocolate* coarsely chopped (or use semi-sweet)
  • ½ cup holiday M&Ms (I used plain M&M's but you can use peanut or your favorite variety)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons holiday sprinkles (or as many as desired)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the Oreos, pretzels, peanuts, and toss with your hands to mix. The dry ingredients should be touching but not overlapping; set aside.
  2. To a large, microwave-safe bowl add the chocolate and heat on high power for 30 seconds to melt. Stop to check and stir. Reheat in 15 second bursts until chocolate can be stirred smooth.
  3. Evenly drizzle the chocolate over the dry mixture on baking sheet. If there are stray dry ingredients around the perimeter that didn’t get coated with chocolate, it’s okay to toss them on top of the chocolate so they adhere.
  4. Before chocolate sets, evenly sprinkle the M&Ms, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
  5. Place tray in fridge or freezer until chocolate sets before breaking into pieces and serving.

Notes

  • *Chocolate: I used Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Bars; one-half pound of the 72% and one-half pound of the Dark. Read blog post for additional tips.

  • Storage: Bark will keep airtight at room temp for up to 2 weeks, in the fridge for at least 1 month, and in the freezer for at least 4 months. I store mine in the fridge (it’s warm in San Diego even in the winter) and take it out about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
