# What You Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 cups mini pretzel twists
02 - 1 cup unsalted butter
03 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
02 - Evenly distribute mini pretzel twists in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to cover the entire surface.
03 - Combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for 3 minutes while stirring constantly to achieve a smooth caramel.
04 - Pour the hot caramel evenly over the pretzels, aiming to coat as many as possible. Any missed spots will fill in during baking.
05 - Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the caramel is fully bubbling across the entire sheet.
06 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel pretzels. Return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
07 - With a spatula, gently spread the melted chocolate to create an even layer over the caramel pretzels.
08 - Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. Remove and lift the pretzel bark from the pan, discarding the foil. Break or cut into squares as desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure chocolate is fully softened before spreading to prevent tearing the caramel layer.
