Ingredients

30

oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), chopped

2

cups bittersweet chocolate chips (12 oz)

1 1/2

cups unblanched whole almonds

2 1/2

cups miniature marshmallows

2

cups small pretzel twists, broken

1/2

teaspoon coarse sea salt, if desired

Preparation

Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment or waxed paper. In 3-quart saucepan, mix candy coating, chocolate chips and almonds. Cook over low heat 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until coating and chips are melted. (Do not let mixture get too hot.) Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.

Add marshmallows and pretzels to chocolate mixture; stir until coated. Onto cookie sheets, drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls. Sprinkle with salt. Let stand until firm. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
