Description

Ingredients

• 8 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate (70-80%), finely chopped
• 6 ounces (1 1/4 cup) peanut butter chips
• 1 teaspoon butter or unflavored shortening (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped peanut butter cups
• 1/2 cup chopped pretzels

Directions

• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Once simmering, turn off the heat.
• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place it over the water (make sure no steam or water gets in the bowl). Let it sit over the hot water, uncovered, until about 2/3 melted. Gently stir it and allow it to melt further until completely smooth. Do not rush this process. If the water gets too cold, you can turn on the heat for a little help, but dont overdo it.
• Once fully melted, pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread into an even layer.
• Immediately in another heatproof bowl, add the peanut butter chips and place it over the hot water (if its not hot enough, repeat Step 1). Let it sit until softened. Gently stir until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add the butter/shortening to help smooth it out.
• Spoon the melted peanut butter chips on top of the chocolate, leaving space between each spoonful. Run a knife through to form decorative swirls. Sprinkle evenly with peanut butter cups and pretzels. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until set. Cut into desired pieces.
