Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark
Ingredients
- ½ bag of mini pretzel twists
- 2 sticks of butter (1 cup total)
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 bag of chocolate chips (2 cups)
- Sea salt or table salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Then line a large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and lay a single layer of pretzels down. I was pretty meticulous about this and made neat little rows (you can fit more on that way right?).
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and the brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Let it boil gently just until it starts to stick to the bottom and it forms a nice smooth caramel. You’ll want to let it bubble a little and get really thick.
- Remove from heat and pour evenly over the top of the pretzels (don’t worry if every single pretzel isn’t covered). Put in the oven at 350 degrees for five minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. You can let the caramel melt the chips, but I prefer to put it back in the oven for one minute.
- Spread the chocolate chips around with a spatula until mostly melted.
- Sprinkle generously with salt.
- Let cool on the counter top for a few minutes and then pop in the freezer for at least two to three hours.
- When it comes out of the freezer, break it up into uneven chunks with your hands and serve.
I make this recipe all the time, however, with saltines (instead of pretzels), and I can’t resist eating them. So, I decided to try THIS version for my twin’s bridal shower — there was not a single bite left when I went to the table to get a sample for myself. So, while I can’t testify for myself how amazing the Salted Pretzel Bark was- I think their consumption in less than 20 minutes is tell-tale. Thank you for sharing!
I also make this with Saltine crackers, but this sounds yummy too.
Should I keep this in the frig or is it fine at room temp? Making this for staff gifts at my sons school.
I was wondering if the choc chips are semi sweet or milk choc chips. Thank you.
I used dark chocolate chips. It was really good
