Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark Recipe

Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bark

Craving a delicious chocolatey caramelly treat? Just whip up this salted caramel pretzel bark and it will hit the spot for sure. It’s really got all the flavors you could ask for from a tasty treat – sweet and salty, with a touch of caramel!

To be honest with you, typing up this post is making me think I should probably make some of this yummy stuff today. I just have to make sure I have people to share with or I’ll end up eating the whole pan!

Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark Ingredients

Probably the best thing about this recipe (and potentially the worst) is that I usually have all of the ingredients in the pantry and it is quick to put together. Only 5 ingredients are needed!

For this reason, this recipe is a bit dangerous. You might find yourself making it a LOT just because it’s so easy and so scrumptious. It’s truly an addicting snack/dessert.

For the pretzels in this recipe, I used Snaps pretzels (the grid square-shaped ones). I did this because I had bought a bunch just recently before making this, but you can use mini pretzels as well. One thing I really liked about the Snaps pretzels is how perfectly they fit into the baking dish.

Cooking Tips

It is important to cook the caramel mixture exactly as written in the recipe. The first time I made them it didn’t turn out quite as delicious because I used butter that was frozen and hadn’t thawed all the way. Oops. Still good, but even better when I made them again, and again…and again, etc.

Conclusion

For being such a simple recipe, I’m so happy with how good this salted caramel pretzel bark is. All of the ingredients work together so well to make a delicious, candy-like bark.

If you’re trying to come up with a homemade gift idea to give your loved ones during the holidays, this recipe should be a top contender. Package some of this chocolate caramel pretzel bark in a gift bag and give it to the people you care about most.
