Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to your new favorite midnight/work snack that’ll make your taste buds dance – the Sweet & Salty Pretzel Peanut Butter Bark! Trust me, as someone who’s guilty of late-night snacking (and proud of it!), this recipe is absolutely to die for.
You know those nights when you’re craving something sweet BUT also salty? Girl, I’ve got you covered! This recipe is so simple, you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried it before. Plus, it’s perfect for those of us who can’t be bothered with complicated cooking after a long day.
What you’ll need (I promise these are all normal ingredients):
– 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or dark – you do you, honey!)
– 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
– 1 cup crushed pretzels
– 1/2 cup mini M&Ms (because why not?)
– A pinch of sea salt (trust me on this one)
Now, let’s get cooking! 🍫
1. First, grab a microwave-safe bowl and throw in those chocolate chips. Melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Pro tip: Don’t overheat unless you want a chocolate disaster on your hands!
1. Once melted, add in that peanut butter and stir until smooth. Warning: Try not to eat it all straight from the bowl (I’m speaking from experience here 😅).

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly.
1. Now for the fun part! Sprinkle those crushed pretzels and M&Ms all over. Don’t be shy – we’re going for that Instagram-worthy look here!
1. Add that pinch of sea salt (this is what makes it absolutely _chef’s kiss_).
1. Pop it in the fridge for about an hour, or if you’re as impatient as I am, the freezer for 30 minutes.
Once it’s set, break it into pieces and try not to eat it all in one sitting (although I wouldn’t judge if you did 😉).
The best part? This keeps well in an airtight container for up to two weeks – but let’s be real, it never lasts that long in my house!
Y’all, this is seriously the perfect treat to keep at your desk or to satisfy those midnight cravings. It’s got that perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the texture combination is absolutely divine.
