Indulge in a symphony of flavors and textures with “The Best Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark.” This easy, no-bake recipe combines crunchy mini pretzels, rich homemade caramel, and luscious semi-sweet chocolate, all crowned with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the ultimate sweet and salty delight. Perfect for parties, gifting, or satisfying your cravings!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) mini pretzels
  • 1 cup (200g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) sea salt flakes
  • 2 cups (350g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and arrange mini pretzels in a single layer.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2 minutes until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and half of the sea salt flakes.
  5. Immediately pour caramel evenly over the pretzels in the pan.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let sit for 2 minutes until softened, then spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle remaining sea salt flakes over the chocolate.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set.
  9. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Caramel Consistency: Ensure caramel is cooked to a gentle boil for 2 minutes; undercooking results in runny caramel, overcooking makes it too hard.
  • Even Chocolate Spreading: Let chocolate chips sit on the hot caramel for a full 2 minutes to ensure they soften thoroughly for smooth spreading.
  • Sea Salt: Don’t skimp on the flaky sea salt! It’s crucial for balancing the sweetness and adding a delightful texture.
