A sweet & salty fall treat made with pumpkin-spiced pretzel crisps, buttery toffee, melty white chocolate, and a Biscoff crunch on top.

Before You Bake

Do I need to use an 8-ounce bag of pretzel crisps?
Yes — one 8-ounce bag (or two 4-ounce bags) gives you a full, even single layer in a small sheet pan. Using less will leave gaps, and using more will make the bark too thick.

Can I use white chocolate melts instead of chips?
Absolutely. Melting wafers spread more smoothly and set a little faster, so use whichever you prefer or already have.

Does the toffee have to boil for the full 3 minutes?
Yes. This step thickens the mixture so it sets properly on the pretzels and gives the bark that classic crack-style snap.

FAQ

How do I keep the chocolate from separating or getting grainy?
Spread it while it’s freshly melted from the heat of the toffee. If it cools too quickly, microwave the chocolate for 10–15 seconds before spreading.

Can I make Pumpkin Spice Pretzel Candy Bark ahead of time?
Yes. It stays fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight container. You can refrigerate it, but room temperature keeps the texture perfect.

Can I freeze this bark?
You can, but the pretzels soften slightly once thawed. If freezing, store in airtight layers and thaw in the fridge.

What other toppings work well?
Chopped pecans, a caramel drizzle, crushed gingersnaps, mini white chocolate chips, or festive sprinkles all pair perfectly with the pumpkin spice base.

Why did my toffee turn grainy or separate?
This usually happens when the heat is too high or it wasn’t stirred consistently. Medium heat and steady stirring keep the texture smooth.
