Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 oz mini pretzels twists or snaps
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Medium Saucepan

Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels in a single, even layer.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring, then boil for exactly 3 minutes without stirring.
  3. Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture over the pretzels and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel.
  4. Let the pan sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to soften. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
  5. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the bark is completely firm.
  6. Lift the bark from the pan using the parchment paper and break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
