This recipe is the result of leftovers from our Extreme Patriotic Milkshakes. When creating my milkshakes, I had leftover melted white chocolate and patriotic M & M’s. I didn’t want the melted chocolate to go to waste, so I decided to make a candy bark. But I wanted to add a little extra something. In our house, we always have pretzels. So I decided to add some broke up pretzel pieces. If you don’t have any pretzels pieces on hand, that’s okay. The best part about a bark recipe is that you can add anything you want. You could add various types of candy, dried fruit (dried cranberries and blueberries would continue the patriotic theme), broken up animal crackers, graham cracker pieces, or various nuts.
