I feel like if I bombard you with pictures of this bark, you will understand that these are crazy good and totally addictive. Do not....I repeat...do not start snacking on these while hungry...you will not be able to stop!
Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bark
Ingredients:
1 cup light brown sugar
bag of mini pretzels
12 oz bag of semi-sweet choc chips
sea salt
Method:
1. Cover a baking sheet with tin foil. Set oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spread the pretzels over the baking sheet. You may not use the whole bag.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
4. Once the butter is melted, add the sugar and stir. Allow the sugar and butter to softly simmer and bubble, but NOT boil (so adjust heat as needed). Stir occasionally. Allow to brown, it should take about 3 minutes from when it starts to bubble.
5. Pour cartelized butter/sugar mixture evenly over the pretzels on the baking sheet. The caramel hardens pretty fast so pour evenly and use a spatula to spread it as best you can. Clumps are ok!
6. Bake for 5-7 minutes.
7. Melt chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave. Stir to make sure it's melted completely.
8. Pour the chocolate over the pretzel-caramel mixture, by strafing it back and forth down the length of the sheet. Use spatula to spread out any thick spots.
9. Sprinkle sea salt over the bark.
10. Place in fridge to cool and harden for at least one hour.
11. Break bark into small and pieces, tin foil will pull off easily. Think rustic...uneven is good!
12. Eat and and enjoy. Can be kept in fridge or freezer in a zip lock bag.
