Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340 grams) high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped couverture chocolate (e.g., Callebaut or Ghirardelli)
- 2 cups (about 60 grams) mini pretzels, roughly crushed
- 1 cup (about 40 grams) freeze-dried raspberries, crushed or chopped if needed
- Sea salt, a light sprinkle (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter or coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Gently melt the white chocolate and butter (if using) together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts on medium power, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed mini pretzels and dried raspberries and toss gently.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly about 1/4 inch thick using a silicone spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle the pretzel and raspberry mixture evenly over the melted white chocolate and press gently to help it stick.
- Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.
- Let the bark set at room temperature until firm, about 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up setting but avoid freezing.
- Once firm, lift the bark from the parchment and break into irregular pieces.
Notes
Use freeze-dried raspberries for best texture and flavor. Avoid overheating white chocolate to prevent graininess or seizing. Press toppings gently to ensure they stick. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Refrigerate if warm but bring back to room temp before serving. Avoid freezing to maintain texture and flavor.
