Heather’s recipe tips

• Make sure to stir the chocolate and white chocolate while melting. You don’t want the chocolate to burn.
• You can use a little bit of shortening in place of coconut oil or vegetable oil.

Variations

There are several ways to make this pretzel bark your own. Here are a few of my suggestions:

• Color: Add a few drops of green or red food coloring to the melted white chocolate for a festive bark.
• Sprinkles: You can add colorful sprinkles to add more festive flare.
• Nuts: If you would like more crunch, top with chopped pecans or pistachios.
