Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark is a quick, easy, and irresistible treat that combines sweet caramel, rich chocolate, and crunchy pretzels. With a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, every bite offers the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and buttery goodness—ideal for holiday gifts or cozy snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons (90ml) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange pretzels in a single even layer.
  2. Make the Caramel: In a saucepan, melt sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns amber. Add butter, stirring until melted. Slowly pour in the cream (it will bubble), and stir until smooth. Mix in the sea salt.
  3. Assemble: Quickly pour caramel over pretzels, spreading evenly with a spatula before it hardens.
  4. Add Chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let sit 2–3 minutes to soften, then spread into a smooth layer.
  5. Finish and Chill: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  6. Break and Serve: Lift bark from the pan and break into rustic pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture in your salted caramel pretzel bark.
  • Let caramel cool slightly before pouring—it should spread evenly but not run.
  • Add a top layer of pretzels before chocolate for extra crunch in this easy salted caramel pretzel bark.
  • Decorate with nuts, crushed candy canes, or sprinkles for variation on your homemade salted caramel pretzel bark.
  • Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer shelf life for your salted caramel pretzel bark.
