Equipment

  • Sauce pan
  • Sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 4.5 ounce bag mini pretzels I like using gluten free cauliflower pretzels.
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar You can also use brown sugar if that is your thing.
  • 4 cups chocolate chips I prefer dairy free chocolate chips.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Now, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray oil to prevent the Christmas bark from sticking. Add the pretzels in a single layer to the sheet.
  • Now, add the maple syrup and sugar in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir until well combined and let it come to a boil for 3-5 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, remove from the heat.
  • Now pour the caramel mixture over the pretzels. It is ok if it does not cover all of the pretzels because it will spread in the oven. Place in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • While pretzels are in the oven, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan on medium low heat. Stir constantly while melting to prevent the chocolate from burning. After the 5 minutes is up, remove the pretzels from the oven and pour the chocolate sauce over the pretzels.
  • Now, use a spatula to spread out the melted chocolate. Sprinkle desired toppings and place in the freezer to harden for 2-3 hours. Use a knife to break pieces off.
