Ingredients
  

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag mini pretzel twists
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 (11 ounce) bag soft caramels unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 2 Microwave-safe bowls
  • 1 Spatula

Instructions
 

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the mini pretzels in a single, tight layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzels and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, covering all the pretzels.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
  6. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the chocolate layer. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  7. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the bark is completely firm.
  8. Once set, break the bark into pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store your bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Feel free to add a drizzle of white chocolate or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Make sure your bowl is completely dry before melting the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
