Servings: 20 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chilling Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces white chocolate chips, 2 bags
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate chips, 1 bag
  • 4 whole candy canes, coarsely crushed (use any of your favorite candies)
  • 1 1/2 cups pretzels, broken into pieces

Instructions

  • Put one bag of white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir with a spatula. Microwave on high for another 30 seconds. Stir again until smooth. You may have to microwave one more time for 15 seconds, but do not overcook the chocolate as it will burn easily.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate on the parchment paper and smooth to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat the melting process with the second bag of white chocolate chips. Pour it onto the baking sheet and spread until the sheet pan is covered.

  • Immediately sprinkle the broken pretzels on the chocolate. Gently press on the pretzels with the back of a spoon to imbed them in the chocolate. Then add the crushed candy canes evenly over the surface. (You can add any of your favorite candies at this point, M&M's, chopped Reese's cups, chopped Twix bars, marshmallow, or Milk Duds. There is no wrong way to do this, so have fun!)

Notes

What pretzels should I use for this recipe?
During the holidays, Utz makes Holiday Pretzels in the shape of bells, snowflakes and Christmas trees. They are the perfect pretzels to use in this recipe. Use a handful to make White Chocolate Pretzel Bark and use the rest of the bag on a platter with dip and fresh veggies. They are yummy!
