Pretzel Almond Bark 

There are so many chocolate bark recipes floating around the internet, and I’ve made more than a few. But this pretzel almond bark is one of my favourite combinations. 

It hits that perfect balance of sweet, salty and crunch, the kind of treat that feels indulgent but still simple and satisfying. It’s also incredibly easy to make, no baking required, and totally customizable. 

This is the kind of dessert you keep in the freezer and break into pieces whenever a chocolate craving hits.
