Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

This is a holiday favorite of mine. It's not a "holiday" dessert but I can never justify making this without having several people to share with. Great to stick in tins and give to coworkers!

THE INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 cup brown sugar

2 bags chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate but pick whatever you like)

1 bag of salted pretzels

Sea Salt

THE RECIPE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay your pretzels in a single layer.

Melt butter in a saucepan with brown sugar. Stir until it starts to bubble. Before its thickened completely, pour over your pretzels. The spoon or whisk should leave a trail in the caramel, but you don't want it thick enough to stick to the spoon.

Bake pretzels and caramel for 5-7 min, until the caramel has spread out over the bottom of the pan. Remove and poke any shifted pretzels back into place with a fork.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until completely smooth. Pour over the pretzels and smooth out with a spatula.

Sprinkle sea salt over the top of the chocolate.

Refrigerate 2 hours or until completely firm. Remove from pan and break apart into pieces (you really shouldn't eat the entire sheet whole, people might judge you).

Enjoy!
