Description
This Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark is a no-bake, sweet-and-salty treat loaded with chocolate, gooey caramel, and crunchy pretzels — perfect for gifting or snack attacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz bag milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz pretzels (about half of a 16 oz bag)
- 11 oz bag Kraft caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Heat the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour about two-thirds of the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- Arrange the pretzels in a single layer over the chocolate, pressing them down lightly so they adhere.
- Combine the unwrapped caramels with the heavy cream; microwave in short intervals, stirring, until the caramel becomes pourable and silky (about 2 minutes total). Drizzle the caramel over the pretzels evenly.
- Finish by drizzling the remaining melted chocolate across the top in a decorative pattern.
- Chill the sheet in the refrigerator until the bark sets completely and feels firm to the touch. Break into pieces and serve.
Notes
Optional quick tip: If the caramel seems too thick, add a splash more cream and warm a few seconds until it reaches the right consistency.
