Cowboy Bark - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    16 ounces dark chocolate
    1/2 cup small pretzels
    10 oreo chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly chopped
    1/2 cup toffee pieces (like Heath toffee bits)
    1/2 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
    sea salt, to taste
Preparation
    Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
    Roughly chop the Oreos. You want fairly big chunks.
    Coarsely chop the almonds and peanuts. I used a small food processor.
    Measure out the pretzels. You want everything chopped and measured before you melt the chocolate.
    Coarsely chop the chocolate or break into small chunks.
    Put chocolate into a microwave safe bowl, place in microwave oven, and heat on high to melt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stop every 15 seconds to check and stir until mixture can be stirred smooth. Be careful not to scorch it. You can also use a double-boiler instead of the microwave.
    Pour chocolate onto parchment, and smooth into a large rectangle with a spatula, around 10x15-inches and 1/8-inch thick.
    Immediately sprinkle evenly with pretzels and Oreos, then toffee, peanuts, almonds, and sea salt to taste and press in lightly.
    Let it set for 1 hour at room temperarure or 30 minutes in the freezer.
    Break into pieces.
    It will keep for weeks in an airtight container.
