Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 12 oz Milk Chocolate Chips (1 bag)
Pretzels
- 8 oz Pretzels (half of a 16 oz bag)
Caramel Drizzle
- 11 oz Kraft Caramels, unwrapped (1 bag)
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure the bark doesn’t stick.
- Melt chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to achieve a smooth, melted chocolate.
- Spread chocolate base: Spread about two-thirds of the melted chocolate evenly over the parchment paper lined baking sheet to form the base layer.
- Add pretzels: Arrange the pretzels evenly over the spread chocolate, pressing them gently so they adhere well.
- Melt caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring as necessary, until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the pretzels on the chocolate layer.
- Top with chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel and pretzels to form a layered bark.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the bark is set and firm, approximately 1-2 hours.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bark.
- Stir the chocolate frequently while melting in the microwave to avoid burning.
- For a firmer bark, chill longer or refrigerate overnight.
- You can break the bark into pieces of any size once fully set.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for extended freshness.
