Pretzel Bark

Here's an easy one with great versatility! You can change the colors of the candy melts to reflect the seasons. And you can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free pretzels!

INGREDIENTS & MATERIALS NEEDED:
3 - 8 or 12-ounce bags of candy melts in various colors
Colored sprinkles of your choice
1 large bag of mini pretzels; regular or gluten-free
Large metal cookie sheet
Parchment paper

Set oven to 175 degrees. While it is warming up line your cookie sheet with parchment paper & leave an overhang. This makes it easier to get the melted candy out!

Pour pretzels on parchment in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Pour unmelted candy melts over pretzels in long horizontal rows, i.e., first orange, then a middle row of white, then the last row of yellow (for Fall colors).

Place the cookie sheet in the middle rack in the oven & bake for 12-15 minutes until you see the candy melts look glossy.

Remove from oven & take a small offset spatula & press melts firmly over pretzels while swirling the colors together in a pleasant pattern.

Put more pretzels randomly over melted candy & sprinkle with your choice of colored sprinkles for additional color!

Leave at room temperature for 2-3 hours until solid.

Using the parchment overhang, lift the candy off of the cookie sheet.

Break into small pieces. Store in an airtight container. Can last up to a week or more...but we usually finish it sooner!
You can put it in clear cello bags for gifting!

ENJOY!
