Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 whole bag
- 8 oz pretzels about half of a 16-oz bag
- 11 oz Kraft caramels 1 whole bag
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- Sea salt for sprinkling
- Parchment paper for lining the baking sheet
Instructions
Preparation
- Ensure your kitchen area is clean and organized. Gather your ingredients and measuring cups. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melting Chocolate
- Place 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until melted and smooth.
Assembling the Bark
- Spread about two-thirds of the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the 8 oz of pretzels haphazardly on top of the melted chocolate, pressing down gently.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the 11 oz Kraft caramels with the 2 tbsp of heavy cream. Heat for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted caramel over the arranged pretzels.
- Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top before it sets.
Setting and Serving
- Chill the bark in the fridge for about 30 minutes until firm or leave it out at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Once set, remove from the baking sheet and cut into bite-sized pieces. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
