Tips & Variations

Use roasted or salted peanuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Try mixing in mini chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for added taste.

Break the bark into irregular shapes for a rustic look, or use cookie cutters to create festive shapes.

Storage

Store leftover peanut butter pretzel bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To enjoy, let the pieces sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Avoid leaving the bark out for too long to prevent melting.
