For the Bark

How to Make Irresistible Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

  • Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  • Melt the Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of caramel candies and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Assemble the Bark: Spread 1 cup of pretzel sticks evenly across your prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle Caramel: Pour the melted caramel over the pretzels, ensuring an even and generous coverage.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In another bowl, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips using the microwave method until smooth, stirring continuously.
  • Combine and Chill: Once melted, pour the chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Top with Sea Salt: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle sea salt generously over the surface.
  • Cool and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, allowing the bark to set completely.
  • Break Into Pieces: Once set, remove from the fridge. Break the bark into pieces or cut into squares.
  • Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with more melted chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.
