"Crack Bark"


"Crack" Chocolate & Caramel Pretzel Bark

Ingredients:
2 Sticks Butter (what recipe is complete without butter)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Bag Mini Pretzels
1 Bag Chocolate Chips (for happiness)
Sea Salt

Preheat your oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and cover with a single layer of pretzels. Melt two sticks of butter in a small saucepan. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and the brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Let it boil gently just until it starts to stick to the bottom and it forms a nice smooth caramel. You’ll want to let it bubble a little and get really thick (to the point you think you've messed it up.) Pour caramel over pretzels and bake for 5ish minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. The heat will melt them (or you can place back in the oven for a little melting help,) then use a spatula to spread them around. Sprinkle with as much sea salt as your heart desires. Cool a bit on the counter. Then pop into the freezer for an hour or until you remember it's in there. Break apart into bite sized pieces. Slip into some sweat pants and enjoy!
