Ingredients

  • 1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate baking chips
  • 1 12-ounce package milk chocolate baking chips
  • 2 cups mini pretzels - or enough to cover the bottom of a 9" X 13" baking sheet
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a 9" X 13" baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper. Be sure to crease the paper at the edges to fit it into the sheet/pan.
  • There are a few good ways to melt the chocolate. You can use a double boiler, or a make-shift bain marie (explained below), or in the microwave on high for 30 second increments.
    For a make-shift bain marie, fill a wide, deep skillet with water and heat it up over medium-high heat. Pour all of the baking chips into a metal bowl and place the bowl on the water in the skillet.
    Once the water comes to a simmer, turn the heat down a bit so that the water stays just on the edge of a simmer without fully engaging in active bubbling.
    As the chocolate begins to melt, remove the bowl occasionally to stir with a rubber spatula, returning it to the heat, until the chocolate is completely melted.
  • Spread the mini pretzels on the parchment paper, breaking up half of them. Pour the melted chocolate over the top, gently spreading with a spatula.
    While the chocolate is warm, it will spread very easily with the spatula.
  • Sprinkle a little sea salt over the top. I use Maldon flakes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set up the chocolate before breaking into shards.
