Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bark
1/2 bag of Mini Pretzels
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chip
fleur de sel or sea salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
Melt the butter with the brown sugar over low heat.
When the mixture begins to boil continue cooking over low heat about 5 minutes until it thickens and forms a soft caramel.
Pour the caramel evenly over the pretzels and place in the oven to bake for 5 minutes.
While the pretzels are baking, place the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small sauce pan. Cook over very low heat until melted and smooth.
Remove the pretzels from the oven.
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the pretzels and use a spatula to smooth.
Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
Place in the fridge to chill and harden for about 2 hours.
Break into pieces and try your very best to resist eating the entire pan.
Enjoy!

Just after reading the ingredients I can feel my arteries constricting!! Allie, do you use salted or unsalted butter in your recipes?
I like salt! so I usually use salted unless I state otherwise :)
YUMMY!! I can hardly wait for an occasion to make these!!
O-M-Gosh. These look illegal. Wow. Hey! Are you going to

Yes, I will be there! Can’t wait to catch up with you! :)
does anyone know how long they last before the pretzel gets soft? or do they? I have a party on Tuesday night and i am wondering if i could make them today.
The pretzels keep well stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
I love chocolate covered pretzels and this looks like a great recipe to take it up a notch. Woot!
I love that you made homemade caramel for these! This is my absolute favorite combo of salty and sweet, and the crunchy bit makes it all the better!

Hello-I was thinking of making your salted chocolate caramel pretzel bark for Christmas gifts (it looks amazing!)-will it last well stored in a tin or will it get all melty?
Thank you!
I usually keep them stored in the fridge. The chocolate does get soft if left at room temperature.
I made this today, but I just sprinkled on the choc chips after the pan came out of oven and let them melt , then spread- saves dirtying another saucepan :) YUMMY
