Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 12 oz Milk Chocolate Chips (1 bag)

Pretzels

  • 8 oz Pretzels (half of a 16 oz bag)

Caramel Topping

  • 11 oz Kraft Caramels, unwrapped (1 bag)
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and completely melted.
  3. Spread Chocolate: Spread about two-thirds of the melted chocolate evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to form the base layer.
  4. Add Pretzels: Evenly distribute the pretzels over the chocolate, gently pressing them down so they adhere well without breaking.
  5. Melt Caramels: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels with the heavy cream and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through until smooth and pourable.
  6. Drizzle Caramel: Pour the melted caramel evenly over the layer of pretzels, covering as much surface as possible.
  7. Drizzle Remaining Chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel layer to add a decorative touch and extra chocolate flavor.
  8. Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the bark is firm and set, approximately 1 hour.
  9. Break into Pieces: Once set, remove from the fridge and break the bark into irregular pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality milk chocolate chips for best taste and texture.
  • Ensure the caramels are fully melted and smooth to get an even drizzle.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before chilling.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer freshness.
  • Can be customized with different types of pretzels or chocolate varieties.
