Ingredients
  

2 cups mini pretzels

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped (about 15-20)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet (approximately 11x17 inches) with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Toast the Pretzels: Spread the mini pretzels evenly on the baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are lightly toasted. Remove and let cool while preparing the caramel.

      Make the Caramel: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unwrapped caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. If desired, add in vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted caramel over the toasted pretzels on the baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the caramel evenly over all the pretzels.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

            Add the Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels. Use the spatula to carefully spread the chocolate to cover the pretzels completely.

              Sprinkle Salt: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle sea salt over the top of the bark to enhance the flavors.

                Chill: Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until the bark is fully set.

                  Break into Pieces: Once set, lift the bark out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper overhang. Break into shards of your desired size.

                    Serve or Store: Enjoy your Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark immediately, or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
