Description

This Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark is a delectable treat combining rich milk chocolate, crunchy pretzels, and sweet, creamy caramel for a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors. Easy to make and perfect for snacking or gifting, this no-bake dessert features layers of melted chocolate, pretzels, and caramel that harden into a crunchy, irresistible bark.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 (12 oz) bag Milk Chocolate Chips

Pretzels

  • 8 oz Pretzels (Half of 16 oz Bag)

Caramel Drizzle

  • 1 (11 oz) bag Kraft Caramels, Unwrapped
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the bark doesn’t stick and clean up is easy.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread melted chocolate: Pour about two-thirds of the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly to form a base layer.
  4. Add pretzels: Arrange the pretzels evenly over the spread chocolate, gently pressing them into the chocolate so they adhere well.
  5. Melt caramel mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels with the heavy cream and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
  6. Drizzle caramel: Evenly drizzle the melted caramel mixture over the pretzels on the chocolate base.
  7. Drizzle remaining chocolate: Use the remaining melted chocolate to drizzle over the caramel layer, adding extra chocolate flavor and decoration.
  8. Chill to set: Refrigerate the entire baking sheet until the bark is set and firm, usually about 1 hour. Once firm, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Use good-quality milk chocolate for the best flavor and smooth melting.
  • Make sure to stir the chocolate well between microwaving intervals to prevent burning.
  • The heavy cream helps to make the caramel drizzle smooth and easier to pour.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and firm.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle a little sea salt or crushed pretzels on top before chilling.
