Pretzel Crack
This pretzel crack recipe is crunchy, creamy and chocolaty! It has the best sweet and salty flavors. This recipe requires only a few ingredients and few minutes to make. It is especially great for the Christmas holiday season!
First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
Place the pretzels in one even layer in pan.
In a small saucepan, add butter and light brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Remove caramel from heat. Pour over pretzels.
Then, place pan in oven. Bake for 5 minutes.
Remove from oven. Pour over melted chocolate.
Carefully spread chocolate into one even layer. Top with sprinkles if desired.
Place pan in freezer for at least 15 minutes or until hardened.
Finally, remove pan from freezer. Break bark into bite sized pieces.
Use gluten free or regular pretzels. Or, consider using saltine crackers.
I recommend using unsalted butter. The pretzels provide enough salt.
Constantly stir the caramel sauce as it cooks. It can easily burn if left unattended.
Caramel will start to bubble and thicken up. See photos above for reference. Do not burn.
Freeze for at least 15 minutes. This is the bare minimum. At this point, the caramel will still be a little sticky and soft.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
