Ingredients
  

8 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cacao), chopped

2 cups pretzel sticks or snaps

1/2 cup pretzel M&Ms or chocolate-covered pretzels (optional, for extra color and flavor)

1 tablespoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon or Fleur de Sel)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for creaminess)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet (about 9x13 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring it covers edges to prevent sticking. Set aside.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate; it should be glossy and pourable.

      Combine the Pretzels: In a large mixing bowl, add the pretzel sticks/snaps and pretzel M&Ms (if using). Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzels and gently toss until they are evenly coated in chocolate.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the chocolate-covered pretzel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick.

          Sprinkle with Sea Salt: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top. Adjust the amount according to your preference for sweetness versus saltiness.

            Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set and is firm to the touch.

              Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the refrigerator and lift it out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper. Break it into pieces of your desired size.

                Store and Serve: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy your sweet and salty Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pretzel Bark as a snack or dessert!
