Easy Easter Egg Pretzel Bark Recipe

Easter and Easter egg candy treats go hand in hand and in my opinion, so do sweet and salty flavor combinations. This chocolate pretzel bark is simple, festive and a great opportunity to get the kids creativity involved in the preparation. They can help by arranging the pretzel crisps on the pan and stirring the chocolate peanut butter mixture when needed. Let them have fun arranging the colorful eggs on top after everything is covered in the melted chocolate and peanut butter chips. It gives them some insight into how make Easter sweets and treats plus the memories made are irreplaceable.

How to Make the Best Easter Egg Pretzel Bark Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Easter Egg Pretzel Bark: Plain flat pretzels i.e. pretzel factory or similar, milk chocolate chips, milk chocolate and peanut butter chips (combination OLR use only peanut butter chips), solid vegetable shortening, chopped peanuts, Easter egg pastel peanut M & M’s, spring sprinkles.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A double boiler or heat proof bowl and saucepan, spoons, an offset spatula or spoon to spread the melted chocolate, measuring spoons and wax paper lined rimmed sheet pan.
• You can mix up the flavor of the chocolate used. If you’re unable to locate the combined chocolate and peanut butter chips you can use only peanut butter chips or another kind of chocolate chips in the same amount.
• If you use a whole bag of peanut butter chips, the color will be lighter.
• For the salty layer I use flat pretzels. These were first made famous by The Pretzel Factory brand but now you can find them in many private label store brands. Any brand will do.
• You can use salted cocktail peanuts or dry roasted peanuts in  this recipe, it’s fine to go with your personal preference.
• Package and give this Easter Egg Pretzel Bark as gifts or fill your family’s Easter baskets with a homemade treat this year.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
