Sabrina’s Chubby Hubby Bark Recipe
Making homemade candy is part of holiday tradition in our house and many others. We love making easy, no bake treats but just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean they have to be peppermint or fudge flavored. This bark was inspired by Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby ice cream.

Chef’s Note
The story goes that three guys were working together and one always talked about how much he loved Ben & Jerry’s. The other two created a pretend flavor and told him it was called Chubby Hubby. He looked everywhere for it with no success. His friends decided to make him a real batch after seeing how excited he was to try it. Ben & Jerry’s caught wind of this new flavor idea and now we all get to enjoy it!
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes! You can make Chubby Hubby Clusters by putting some of toppings into each well of a muffin tin. Pour your white chocolate over your topping ingredients and allow to set. Make sure to use muffin liners to make removing easier. Use decorative liners if you are planning on giving the clusters as gifts.
How to Store
- Serve: Bark is fine at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, as long as you keep it in an airtight container and store it in a cool dry place.
- Store: You can keep bark in the fridge for about 3 weeks in a sealable bag or an airtight container.
- Freeze: Bark is good in the freezer for about 3 months before it’s time to make some more.

Variations
- Add ins: The beauty of chocolate bark is that you can mix in pretty much anything you would like based on what you’re craving. Some yummy add-ins are fudge, chunks of brownie, caramel, truffles, pecans, marshmallows, toffee, cashews, or drizzle with Chocolate Ganache.
- Flavoring: To give your bark some extra flavor, you can add a few drops of liquid extract. Chocolate, Vanilla, and Almond extracts would taste really good with the toppings.
- Gluten free: To make a gluten free version of bark, use pretzels that are marked gluten free.
- Chocolate: You don’t have to use white chocolate, you can also make this delicious treat using milk chocolate, or dark chocolate instead. If you end up going with a darker chocolate, you may want to choose a lighter chocolate chip, like white chocolate, or chocolate caramel, to mix in to keep the flavor from becoming overpowering.

LOL, my hubby told me I’m only allowed to make this once per year because he can’t resist it!
I totally get that! It’s pretty hard to stop eating once you start. Thanks so much for the 5 stars.
This looks delicious! Question-you mentioned that you can keep it in the fridge-does that make the pretzels soft? Looking forward to trying it-my bf is a white chocolate fan so I’m always on the lookout for new recipes 🙂 Thanks!
I didn’t notice a difference with keeping them in the fridge but it lasts for up to 2 weeks if you just want to store it on the counter, just make sure it’s not in a warm area. I hope he enjoys it!
