Description
Delightful salted caramel pretzel bark combining sweet and salty flavors in a crunchy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Spread the pretzel sticks evenly on the prepared baking sheet, creating a nice, even layer.
- Bake the pretzels for about 5-7 minutes, until they are slightly toasted and give off a lovely nutty aroma. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine caramel bits and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, creating a luscious caramel sauce.
- Pour the melted caramel evenly over the toasted pretzels, ensuring they are well-coated for that delicious sweet flavor.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until they reach a silky-smooth consistency.
- Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels, making sure to cover them as evenly as possible.
- For that perfect finishing touch, sprinkle sea salt generously over the chocolate layer to create a tasty contrast.
- Refrigerate the bark for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set firmly.
- Once set, break the bark into large pieces and get ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For variations, try adding nuts or using different types of chocolate.
