Ingredients

Scale

Choosing the right ingredients is key to capturing that perfect harmony of flavours. I always opt for quality salted pretzels with a satisfying crunch and buttery caramel made from scratch or a trusted caramel sauce to avoid any artificial aftertaste. Using real butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt really elevates the bark from ordinary to something special. When I’m cooking with my little ones, I love how these simple ingredients turn into a sensory adventure—the sound of cracking bark, the silky caramel, and that irresistible saltiness.

  • 4 cups pretzels (mini twists or rods work best)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for the caramel)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 8 ounces high-quality milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pretzels evenly across it, creating a single layer.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar until smooth and bubbling, then let it cook gently for 3-4 minutes without stirring to deepen the caramel flavour.
  3. Carefully whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the caramel thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of flaky sea salt.
  4. Pour the warm caramel evenly over the pretzels, using a spatula to spread it if needed. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  6. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels, then sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still warm.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bark is fully set and firm to the touch.
  8. Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve.
