Peppermint Bark Pretzels

he chocolate and toffee need to set for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. You can speed up this process by placing the toffee in the fridge if desired. Place a spatula or bench scraper under the toffee and place it on a cutting board (it’s okay if it breaks a little with this process). Cut with a sharp knife to break into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. In this image, the toffee is placed in a tin in the center of the image, surrounded by Christmas greenery, ribbon and ornaments.
