This weeks theme is reflections and resolutions. Most people are gearing up for their resolutions or just so very tired of the holiday. I don’t make new years resolutions to be honest. However, I do love chocolate at any time of the year. If I had to make a resolution it would be “keep it simple”.
Instead of spending a lot of time coming up with a fancy recipe I decided to make a very quick and easy one so that I can maximize my time on the couch with my video games when I’m not working (which has been like 2 days, woo). Peanut and Pretzel bark is so very easy and I always have the ingredients on hand because I live with a pretzel fiend. Of course you can switch up the nuts but I love peanuts and pretzels together.
Peanut and Pretzel Bark
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 3 ounces dry roasted peanuts chopped
- 3 ounces pretzels chopped
Instructions
- While the chocolate is melting, cover a baking sheet with parchment, waxed paper or a silpat liner. Stir the peanuts and pretzels into the melted chocolate. Quickly spread into paper-lined cookie sheet. Harden in the refrigerator. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

I am so glad to know that I am not the only pretzel fiend in the world. 🙂

My mom makes peanut clusters every year and I need to send her this recipe so she will add pretzels to it (she loves pretzels).
Here’s to simplicity and how great it can be with food and treats. Have a fabulous New Year!

It has been such a pleasure getting to know you in 2013. I have enjoyed all your #SundaySupper recipes and hope we have the opportunity to meet IRL in 2014.
What a great recipe to end 2013 with!
I love sweet and salty and this is right up my alley. Yum!
Simple is always best. I love easy, straightforward things. I think that’s why I love rice crispy treats so much.
I love your goal of keeping it simple…and this is a delicious way to start out the new year! Wishing you and amazing 2014!

This is the perfect treat! – Happy New Year to you and yours.
This is the perfect simple dessert. I’m going simple this year too. We had a dinner party last night and I would normally go all-out for the meal and dessert. But I kept it simple and had some pine nut brittle that I served with ginger gelato. It was perfect. Having this bark on hand would be perfect too! Have a wonderful, simple, New Year!

Keeping it simple sounds the perfect new year’s resolution! And chocolate is always good…at any time…especially paired with pretzels and made into bark. I really want this for dessert right now
