Ingredients
  

2 cups pretzel sticks

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1 cup caramel sauce (preferably homemade or good quality store-bought)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus additional for garnish)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for an extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides for easier removal later.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Microwave the chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

      Layer the Pretzels: Evenly distribute the pretzel sticks across the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Achieving a single, even layer ensures an optimal coverage of the other ingredients.

        Drizzle with Caramel: Warm the caramel sauce in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until it's nice and runny, making it easy to drizzle. Pour the warm caramel over the pretzel layer, using a spatula to spread it evenly and cover as many pretzels as possible.

          Pour the Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer. Use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate, ensuring it coats the caramel thoroughly.

            Add Sea Salt and Nuts: Sprinkle the top generously with sea salt for that perfect balance of sweet and salty. If you’re using nuts, add the chopped pecans or walnuts at this stage to enhance both texture and flavor.

              Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator, allowing the bark to chill for about 1-2 hours until the chocolate and caramel are completely set.

                Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the baking sheet from the fridge and lift the bark out using the parchment overhang. Break the bark into irregular pieces to achieve a delightful rustic appearance.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Store the salted caramel pretzel bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. This treat is perfect for special occasions or simply for indulging yourself whenever a sweet craving hits!
