I love to add dried fruit and coconut shavings, but I also provide suggestions for other ways you can dress up this Chocolate Pretzel Bark.
Chocolate Pretzel Bark Ingredients
Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet, but you can use white, dark, or milk chocolate. (Or even a combination of your favorites!)
Coconut Oil: This will help smooth and stretch our chocolate as it melts. It also adds a beautiful shine.
Dried Fruit: Tastes just as good as fresh fruit dipped in chocolate! I used dried cranberries and my favorite dried mango from Trader Joe’s.
Pretzels: Crunchy, salty, and amazing paired with chocolate!
Coconut Shavings: Another incredible flavor taken to the next level with chocolate. These guys also add even more texture.
