Are you a fan of the sweet and salty combo? I most definitely am. I think that’s just about the most perfect combination in a snack food. So salted caramel pretzel bark? It was bound to happen. I’m actually kind of wondering what took me so long to make this. So easy, so fast, and so freaking good. So good. Hide it in the back of the fridge so that no one else knows it exists and I get it all to myself good.
Or you could give it away as gifts. Food gifts are wonderful at Christmas time, and salted caramel pretzel bark would definitely be welcomed. If you’re nice like that.
Ingredients
10 ounces chocolate (about 2 cups, chopped)
2 cups pretzels (I used the waffle type)
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
Instructions
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate at 50% power for about 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until it’s almost completely melted. Stir it until it is fully melted.
Spread 3/4 of the melted chocolate on a cookie sheet covered with a silicone baking mat or wax paper.
Spread it out in an even layer with a rubber spatula until it is about 8 x 12 inches.
Spread the pretzels evenly over top of the chocolate.
Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over top of the pretzels (heat it first to make it easy to drizzle – about 30-60 seconds in the microwave).
Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over top of the salted caramel sauce.
Chill the bark for several hours or overnight until firm.
Cut it into squares and store it in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Use whatever type of chocolate you prefer, but bar or baking chocolate is a better choice than chocolate chips as it melts much better. I used a combination of milk and dark chocolate.
