How to Make Peppermint Dark Chocolate Pretzel Bark
  1. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating them in 30-second intervals. Stir until the chocolate is silky smooth and glossy.
  2. Fold in the mini pretzels gently, ensuring each pretzel is fully coated with chocolate.
  3. Add the peppermint extract, stirring to combine. Adjust for desired minty flavor.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, smoothing it out evenly about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top before the chocolate sets.
  6. Finish with a light dusting of sea salt and allow to cool completely. For quicker cooling, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
