I loved this chocolate bark!  The recipe is so easy and quick.  I served it as part of a Progressive Dinner in my neighborhood and it went fast. In fact, there were a couple of people politely arguing over the last piece.  Even though this is made with semi-sweet chocolate, it tasted a bit more like dark chocolate. The original recipe calls for pecans in addition to the pretzels, but I opted not to use them because my husband is not a huge fan of nuts and I wasn’t sure if any neighbors had nut allergies.  This is a definite keeper in my dessert box!
