Let’s dive into this simple yet indulgent recipe.

Ingredients

• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (one whole bag) 🍫
• 8 oz pretzels (half of a 16-oz bag) 🥨
• 11 oz Kraft caramel (one whole bag) 🍬
• 2 tablespoon heavy cream 🥛
• Sea salt for sprinkling 🧂

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep Your Baking Sheet:
Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the bark once it’s set. 📝

2️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each session until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. 🍫

3️⃣ Spread the Chocolate Base:
Pour about ⅔ of the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a solid base for your bark. 🧑‍🍳

4️⃣ Add the Pretzels:
Scatter the pretzels over the chocolate base, pressing them gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick. 🥨

5️⃣ Melt the Caramel:
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. 🍬🥛

6️⃣ Drizzle the Caramel:
Carefully drizzle the melted caramel over the pretzels. Aim for even coverage so each bite has that perfect blend of flavors. 🍯

7️⃣ Finish with Chocolate:
Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels, creating a beautiful layered effect. 🍫

8️⃣ Add a Touch of Salt:
To enhance the flavors, sprinkle some flakey sea salt on top of the chocolate and caramel. This step adds that irresistible salty contrast to the sweet layers. 🧂

9️⃣ Let It Set:
Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill until the bark is fully set, or if fridge space is tight, allow it to set at room temperature for about 2 hours. ❄️⏳

🔟 Cut and Serve:
Once set, cut the bark into pieces and serve. Enjoy this delicious treat with friends, family, or as a delightful snack just for you! 🎉
