A quick and foolproof Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark holiday treat made with crunchy pretzels, buttery caramel, melted chocolate, and flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt

Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. Arrange pretzels in a single even layer, breaking some to fill gaps.

- Sprinkle flaky sea salt and any extra toppings (crushed pretzels, toffee, sprinkles, etc.).
- Let cool 30 minutes at room temperature, then chill at least 1 hour until firm. Break into pieces for serving or gifting.
