Okay, ladies and gents, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight/work snack that literally changed my life (and my waistline, but we don’t talk about that 😉). I present to you: The Sweet & Salty Pretzel Bark Clusters!
Y’all, this recipe is so addictive, I had to stop making it every week because my jeans were giving me the side-eye. But for those late-night cravings or when you need something to keep you awake during those endless work meetings? Pure perfection!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups mini pretzels (slightly crushed)
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup toffee bits
– Sea salt (trust me on this one)
– Optional: 1/4 cup crushed nuts (I use pecans because I’m fancy like that)
Now, let me walk you through this heaven-in-a-bite situation:
1. First things first, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Don’t skip this step unless you enjoy scraping chocolate off your pan (been there, done that, not cute).
1. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Pro tip: stir between each interval, or you’ll end up with a burnt chocolate disaster. Nobody wants that drama.
1. Do the same with the white chocolate in a separate bowl.

1. Spread your crushed pretzels on the lined baking sheet.
1. Drizzle both chocolates over the pretzels in a random pattern (think Jackson Pollock but delicious).
1. Sprinkle toffee bits and nuts (if using) over the chocolate while it’s still wet.
1. Finally, hit it with that sea salt like you’re seasoning your ex’s wounds (kidding… sort of 😏).
1. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until set.
Break it into clusters, and voilà! You’ve got yourself a snack that’s basically legal crack (okay, maybe I shouldn’t say that, but you get what I mean).
Store these babies in an airtight container, assuming they last that long. Mine usually disappear faster than my motivation to go to the gym.
Listen, if this recipe speaks to your soul like it does mine, don’t be shy! Drop a comment below and let me know how it turned out. Did you add your own twist? Did you eat the whole batch in one sitting? No judgment here – we’re all friends!
