Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz pretzels (half of 16 oz bag)
- 11 oz Kraft caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Spread Chocolate: Spread two-thirds of the melted chocolate evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet to form a base layer.
- Add Pretzels: Lay the pretzels on top of the melted chocolate in an even layer, gently pressing them in so they adhere to the chocolate.
- Melt Caramel: In the microwave, melt the unwrapped caramels with the heavy cream for 2 minutes, stirring to combine until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the pretzels to add rich sweetness and a sticky texture.
- Top with Chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel and pretzels to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the bark until it is set and firm, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, then break into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bark.
- Microwave the chocolate and caramel in short intervals to avoid burning.
- Press pretzels gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick firmly.
- For extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts or sea salt on top before chilling.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
