Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark Recipe


  • Author: Sarah White

Description

Sweet, crunchy Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark made with chocolate, pretzels, and caramel—your new favorite no-bake snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 standard bag)

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

  • 11 oz Kraft caramels (1 standard bag)

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet
    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Arrange the Pretzels
    Spread the pretzels in a single, even layer over the parchment. Break a few if needed to cover gaps but don’t overcrowd.

  3. Melt the Caramel
    In a saucepan over low heat, combine unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Stir constantly until smooth (5–7 minutes).

  4. Drizzle Caramel Over Pretzels
    Evenly drizzle the melted caramel over the pretzels, using a spoon to spread it into crevices.

  5. Melt the Chocolate
    Microwave chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

  6. Pour and Spread Chocolate
    Immediately pour melted chocolate over the caramel layer and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

  7. Sprinkle with Sea Salt
    While chocolate is still wet, lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top. Don’t overdo it—a little goes a long way.

  8. Cool and Break Into Pieces
    Let the bark cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours or place in the fridge for 30 minutes until set. Break into pieces and serve or store.

Notes

Use parchment for easy cleanup and bark removal.

Adjust sweetness by using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.

Substitute heavy cream with milk in a pinch, but caramel may be firmer.
