Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Yields: Approx. 1 lb of bark
Ingredients
-
8 oz Pretzels (mini twists or sticks), broken into pieces
-
1 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
-
½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter
-
1 tablespoon Paramour Spice Co. "Delicious" Seasoning
-
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
-
10 oz White Chocolate or Milk Chocolate Chips, melted
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pretzel Base
-
Prep: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the broken pretzel pieces evenly over the prepared sheet.
2. Make the Caramel
-
Combine: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
-
Boil: Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until the caramel thickens slightly and reaches a deep amber color. Remove from heat.
-
Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and the "Delicious" Seasoning until well combined.
3. Assemble the Bark
-
Pour Caramel: Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the pretzels on the baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread it as evenly as possible.
-
Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or over a double boiler until smooth.
-
Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated pretzels and spread it to cover the entire surface.
-
Chill: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and hard.
4. Break and Serve
-
Break: Once chilled, break the bark into irregular pieces.
-
Store: Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer.
