A simple, delicious chocolate and peanut butter bark loaded with REESE’S chocolates. Smooth white chocolate and peanut butter chips form the base, while salty pretzels and colorful candies add crunch and visual flair. This easy treat is perfect for Easter or any celebration.
I’m excited to share this festive recipe in partnership with HERSHEY’S. It’s a quick, family-friendly project that’s ideal for spring gatherings or holiday gifting.
The seasonal aisles are full of treats, and in our house the kids always reach for Reese’s. We have some serious peanut-butter fans, so this recipe was an instant hit. It’s also one of those no-fuss desserts that kids love to help make.
Bark is perfect for little helpers — no baking, no precision required. Spread, press, set, and break into pieces: the more random the pattern, the more attractive the result. It’s a great activity to involve the whole family.
Here’s what you’ll need:
The kids loved helping from start to finish — chopping mini cups, scattering pretzels, and choosing sprinkles.
This treat comes together in minutes. A creamy peanut butter–white chocolate base, lots of REESE’S chocolates, crunchy pretzels, and colorful candies make every bite satisfying and fun.
This recipe is ideal for Easter but adapts easily to any holiday—just swap the candy colors. It makes a thoughtful neighbor gift and a fun family kitchen activity.
I hope you enjoy making and sharing this as much as we did.
- 1 (12 oz.) bag HERSHEY’S white chocolate chips
- 1 (10 oz.) bag REESE’S peanut butter chips
- 2 teaspoons shortening
- 15 pretzel twists

- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and shortening. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared parchment and spread into a rectangle about 12 × 9 inches.
- Work quickly, as the chocolate will begin to set. Arrange pretzels, halved REESE’S mini cups, and assorted candies or sprinkles across the surface.
- Allow the bark to set and firm up at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Once hardened, break the bark into random-sized pieces and serve or package for gifting.
