This fave makes a great treat or even a great homemade gift! My mom loves it, the fiance loves it with ice cream, and I'll eat it any time of day. Truly.
Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bark (for lack of a better name)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
bag of mini pretzels
12 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips
sea salt
Cover a baking sheet with foil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread pretzels on the baking sheet. (You want 1 layer of pretzels and you may not use the whole bag.)
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir. Heat mixture until it begins to bubble, but do not let it boil. Let it bubble for about 3 minutes.
Once the butter and sugar have caramelized, pour it quickly over the pretzels. Bake the caramel & pretzel mixture in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, set up a double boiler. (Look it up if you don't know what that is - that'd be better than me describing it, honestly.) Melt the semi sweet chocolate chips.
Once the pretzel & caramel mixture is out of the oven and the chocolate is melted, pour the chocolate over the caramel mixture. Even it out with a spatula if necessary. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the bark and place in fridge to set.
Once bark is set, break up into pieces and enjoy!
Not healthy, I know.
But a delicious treat if you need/want/crave one.
