A quick and easy sweet and salty snack combining rich dark chocolate, crunchy potato chips, pretzels, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Perfect for snacking, sharing, and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
  • 2 cups (about 60 g) lightly salted kettle-cooked potato chips
  • 1 cup (about 50 g) mini pretzels
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon or fleur de sel)
  • Optional: chopped toasted nuts (almonds or pecans)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Measure out the potato chips and pretzels.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well each time until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly into about a 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick layer.
  4. Immediately sprinkle the potato chips and pretzels evenly over the wet chocolate. Press lightly on some pieces to help them stick without crushing.
  5. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt generously over the top.
  6. Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes until the bark is firm. Alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes to speed up setting.
  7. Once set, remove from fridge, lift the bark off the parchment, and break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator.

Notes

Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Use fresh chips and pretzels for best crunch. Press toppings lightly to help them stick. Chill fully for clean breaks. Optional tempering for shiny finish. Gluten-free and vegan substitutions available.
