Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340g) milk chocolate chips
- 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (about 100g) mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup (about 170g) candy corn
- 1/2 cup (about 85g) M&Ms
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for finishing)
Instructions
- Line a 13×18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Combine the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and glossy (about 2 to 3 minutes total). Do not overheat.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle the mini pretzel twists evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press them down so they stick.
- Scatter the M&Ms over the chocolate and pretzels. Press them in gently.
- Sprinkle the candy corn over the top. Press them down lightly so they embed into the chocolate.
- If using, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt over the entire surface.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm and set. (Alternatively, 30 minutes in the freezer works, but watch closely.)
- Once set, lift the parchment paper off the baking sheet. Break the bark into irregular pieces with your hands or use a sharp knife for cleaner edges. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Do not skip pressing the toppings into the chocolate to prevent them from falling off. Use room-temperature toppings to avoid chocolate seizing. For best results, let the bark set completely in the fridge for at least 1 hour. If using a double boiler, ensure no water gets into the chocolate.
