Ingredients
200g
milk chocolate, roughly chopped
100g
dark chocolate, roughly chopped
25g
salted peanuts, roughly chopped
25g
salted pretzels, roughly crushed
35g
salt and vinegar crisps, roughly crushed
Directions
Step 1Melt the chocolates in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Line a medium baking tray with baking parchment.
Step 2Spread the chocolate thinly on to the prepared tray in a large rectangle or oval shape. Tap tray firmly on the work surface a couple of times so the chocolate forms an even layer.
Step 3Scatter over the chopped nuts, pretzels and crisps. Leave to cool and set in a cool place (ideally, not the fridge but if your house is warm, it may need to be) for at least 2hr. When the bark is completely set, break into irregular shards.
This bark will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
If you prefer, you could scatter the toppings onto the baking parchment first before pouring over the chocolate to cover.
If you don’t like salt and vinegar crisps, use ready salted instead.
