Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Dark or milk chocolate chopped, or chocolate chips
  • 1½ cups Mini pretzels lightly crushed
  • ½ cup Caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp Butter to thicken caramel if using store-bought
  • ½ tsp Flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl or heat-safe bowl for double broiler
  • Small saucepan if warming store-bought caramel
  • Spoon or rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Prepare the tray
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt the chocolate
    Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. (You can also melt it over a double boiler.)
  3. Spread the base
    Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined tray and spread it into an even layer, about ¼-inch thick.
  4. Add the pretzels
    Scatter the crushed pretzels evenly over the warm chocolate, gently pressing them in so they adhere.
  5. Warm the caramel
    If your caramel is thick, combine ½ cup caramel + 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until smooth and pourable.
  6. Drizzle the caramel
    Drizzle the warm caramel all over the pretzels and chocolate. Use a spoon to swirl gently if you want a marbled look.
  7. Finish with salt
    Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while everything is still warm.
  8. Chill
    Place the tray in the fridge for 20–30 minutes, or until completely set.
  9. Break into pieces
    Once firm, remove from the tray and break the bark into rustic pieces.
