Ingredients
  

1 cup of mini pretzels

1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup of caramel candies, unwrapped

1 tbsp of heavy cream

1/4 tsp of sea salt (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or almonds)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.

      Layer the Pretzels: Spread the mini pretzels evenly on the lined baking sheet, covering the bottom. Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzels, using a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring all pretzels are covered.

        Make the Caramel Sauce: In another microwave-safe bowl, add the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

          Drizzle the Caramel: Carefully drizzle the melted caramel over the chocolate-covered pretzel layer. Use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to lightly swirl it for a marbled effect.

            Add Nuts (Optional): If you're using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the caramel layer.

              Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Finish by sprinkling the sea salt over the top for that perfect sweet and salty balance.

                Chill: Place the entire baking sheet in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 1 hour, or until everything is set.

                  Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and break it into pieces of your desired size.

                    Serve and Enjoy: You can serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
