Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 cups mini pretzels
  • 11 oz bag caramels, unwrapped (I use Kraft brand)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy 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. 
  • You can also freeze the bark for up to 3 months.
