Description

Delight in the perfect balance of sweet and salty with this Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark. Creamy semi-sweet chocolate coats crunchy mini pretzels, topped with luscious melted caramel and a drizzle of chocolate, creating an irresistible treat perfect for sharing or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Pretzels

  • 8 oz mini pretzel twists (1/2 of a 16 oz bag)

Caramel Topping

  • 1 (11 oz) bag kraft caramel bits
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Layer the Chocolate: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread three-quarters of the melted chocolate evenly over the lined sheet to form a smooth layer, reserving the remaining chocolate for later use.
  3. Add Pretzels: Scatter the mini pretzel twists evenly over the melted chocolate layer. Gently press the pretzels into the chocolate to ensure they adhere well.
  4. Melt the Caramel: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the kraft caramel bits with heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the caramel is melted completely and smooth.
  5. Assemble the Bark: Evenly pour the melted caramel over the pretzels, covering them. Then, drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel layer to create an attractive finish.
  6. Set the Bark: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let it chill until the chocolate and caramel are fully set, firming up enough to break or cut into individual pieces.

Notes

  • For a glossy finish on melted chocolate, ensure no water gets into the bowl while melting.
  • Use a silicone baking mat for easy removal of the bark without sticking.
  • You can substitute mini pretzel twists with pretzel rods broken into pieces if preferred.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily to serve a larger crowd or for gifting purposes.
