Main Ingredients

2 cups pretzels Traditional pretzel twists are preferred for their shape and crunch.
1 cup chocolate chips Use high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
1 cup caramel sauce Homemade or store-bought. Recommended brands: Hershey's or Smucker's.
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) Pecans, walnuts, or peanuts work well.
sea salt For topping, use a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the pretzels evenly on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.

Cooking

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel sauce until smooth and pourable.
Pour the melted caramel evenly over the pretzels and bake for 5-7 minutes until bubbling.
Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let sit for a few minutes before spreading them over the warm caramel.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts and a little sea salt on top.
Allow the bark to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
