Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- mini pretzels (the crossed ones!) - enough to line an 10x15 baking sheet
- 2 cups of Chocolate Chips (*or 16 oz of Callebaut chocolate)
- sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Preparation
Step 1
1) First, line an 10x15 baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with Pam. Then place pretzels on the sheet in a single layer.
2) Then, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan on low-medium heat, and add in brown sugar.
3) Stir sugar and butter until incorporated. *combining these ingredients at a low temperature helps to keep them from separating!
4) Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (NOT a boil), and let it cook for about 3 minutes once bubbling; this will allow the butter and sugar to caramelized.
5) Pour this mixture over your pretzels, and use a spoon/offset spatula to help spread this layer out.
6) Bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool.
7) Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave (checking and stirring often), or by using a double boiler. Once melted, pour over the pretzel-caramel layers, and use a spoon/offset spatula to even it out.
Sprinkle with sea salt, and allow the bark to cool in the fridge until completely set.
9) Once completely cooled and hardened, break the bark into pieces and serve.
*Store any extras (pfftt...yeah right) in the fridge!
