Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (one whole bag)
Pretzels
- 8 oz pretzels (half of a 16-oz bag)
Caramel Drizzle
- 11 oz Kraft caramel (one whole bag)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Topping
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips by heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely smooth and melted.
- Spread Chocolate and Add Pretzels: Spread about two-thirds of the melted chocolate evenly over the lined baking sheet. Top with pretzels, placing them randomly and gently pressing them into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Melt Caramel Mix: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine Kraft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave for 2 minutes until fully melted and smooth, stirring once or twice if needed.
- Drizzle Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the pretzels and chocolate layer on the baking sheet.
- Finish with Chocolate and Salt: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel layer and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the entire bark to enhance the flavor.
- Set the Bark: Chill the bark in the refrigerator until fully set, about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, let it set at room temperature for about 2 hours if fridge space is limited.
- Serve: Once set, cut the bark into pieces and serve as a delightful sweet and salty treat.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Stir the chocolate well during melting to prevent burning.
- Press the pretzels gently so they adhere well but keep their shape.
- Flaky sea salt is preferred for a nice crunch and balanced seasoning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for extended freshness.
