Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
1 ½ cups mini salted pretzels
½ cup M&Ms
½ cup peanuts chopped

Homemade Salted Caramel

1 cup sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup heavy cream
¼-½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Prep the Base: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread pretzels in an even layer.
Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl to melt the semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until smooth and creamy. Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzels, spreading evenly with an offset spatula or butter knife. Sprinkle M&M’s and peanuts on top.
Make the Salted Caramel: Heat sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it melts into an amber-colored liquid.
Add butter carefully—it will bubble. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in heavy cream while whisking. Let the mixture boil for 1–2 minutes. Stir in sea salt.
Drizzle the caramel over the bark (use as much or as little as you like).
Chill and Serve: Chill the entire recipe in the refrigerator or freezer until firm. Break or cut into smaller pieces. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to a week.
