This Easy Chocolate Bark with Nuts is a decadent and festive treat that you can make with just a few ingredients. The chocolate is rich and smooth, while the nuts and pretzels add crunch and texture. Serve as a snack or gift during Christmas.
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and put parchment paper on a baking tray. Break the chocolate into pieces and put them on the tray. Bake for 10 minutes and then stir the chocolate until it is shiny and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate in a pot. Boil some water in a saucepan over low heat. Put a bowl on top of the saucepan, but make sure it does not touch the water. Put the chocolate in the bowl and stir it now and then until it is melted and smooth.
Scatter the white chocolate chips, nuts, and pretzels over the chocolate and push them gently into the chocolate.
Let the bark cool down or put it in the fridge until it is hard for about an hour.
Sprinkle some sea salt on top and enjoy your chocolate bark as a treat.

Notes
Chocolate: Choose high-quality chocolate for the best taste and texture. You can use any type of chocolate, such as dark, milk, or white, or mix them together.Melting: Do not melt the chocolate in the microwave, as it will lose its shine and snap. You need to temper the chocolate, which means heating and cooling it to a certain temperature. To do this, you can use the oven or the stove method.Add-ins: You can customize your toppings according to your liking. You can add nuts, dried fruits, candies, or spices to make different flavors and textures. For example, you can add more pretzels if you like salty and crunchy treats. You can also add some sea salt flakes, cinnamon, or chili powder to spice things up.
