Description

This Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark is a delightful combination of rich semi-sweet chocolate, crunchy pretzels, and smooth caramel, topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty treat. Ready in just 10 minutes and set quickly in the fridge, this easy no-bake recipe yields 24 delicious servings, perfect for snacking or gifting.

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (one whole bag)

Pretzel Layer

  • 8 oz pretzels (half of a 16-oz bag)

Caramel Topping

  • 11 oz Kraft caramel (one whole bag)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Finishing Touches

  • Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the bark later.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Layer Chocolate and Pretzels: Spread about two-thirds of the melted chocolate evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the pretzels on top of the chocolate, pressing gently to ensure they stick without worrying about perfect placement.
  4. Prepare Caramel: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the Kraft caramel with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream by microwaving for 2 minutes until smooth and easy to drizzle.
  5. Drizzle Caramel: Evenly drizzle the melted caramel over the pretzels on the chocolate base.
  6. Top with Remaining Chocolate and Salt: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel layer, then sprinkle flaky sea salt generously on top for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.
  7. Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the bark sets firmly, about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, let it set at room temperature for about 2 hours if refrigeration is not available.
  8. Serve: Once set, cut the bark into pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Be sure to use parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make clean-up easier.
  • If you prefer, use store-bought caramel sauce instead of Kraft caramels and heavy cream.
  • You can substitute pretzels with other crunchy snacks like nuts or cookie pieces for variation.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
