Ingredients

  • 1 11 oz package peanut butter & milk chocolate chips
  • 1 11 oz package milk chocolate chips
  • 3 Tbsp solid vegetable shortening
  • 1 7.2 oz package original flat pretzel crisps [i.e.The Snack Factory]
  • 1 cup cocktail peanuts
  • 1 12 oz package Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs
  • Easter sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
  • Melt peanut butter and milk chocolate chips with shortening in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir periodically until the chips are completely melted and smooth.
  • Spread the pretzel crisps evenly over the pan, overlapping is fine. Sprinkle peanuts over pretzel crisps. 
  • Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the pretzels and peanuts.
  • Use the back of a spoon or an off set spatula to spread the warm chocolate covering the pretzels and peanuts completely.
  • Nestle the Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs into the chocolate while it's still warm. There's no exact way to do this, be creative! Fill in with the Easter sprinkles.
  • Allow the pretzel bark to set up and harden then break or cut into pieces.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
