Can I use regular chocolate?
Of course!! You can use regular chocolate almond bark if you like, the color won’t be as pretty as if you used white almond bark.
Can I substitute the peanuts?
Sure you can! You can use any nuts you like or you can even omit them if you have allergies and substitute more pretzels.
Can I add anything else?
Of course! Add chocolate chips, marshmallows, chocolate candies, or anything you like.
