Ingredients
2cupssemisweet chocolate chips
4cupsmini pretzels
11ozbag caramels,unwrapped (I use Kraft brand)
2tablespoonsheavy cream
Flaky Sea salt,for sprinkling
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well each time, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Pour about two-thirds of the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread it into an even layer. Save the remaining chocolate for the top.
Layer the pretzels over the chocolate. They’ll overlap, and that’s exactly what you want.
Add the caramels and heavy cream to a separate microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Drizzle the caramel over the pretzels.
Drizzle the remaining chocolate on top of the caramel. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Chill in the refrigerator until the bark is firm, a few hours or overnight. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into the pieces.
Notes
How to Store:
Keep the bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
