Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8-ounce) bag mini pretzels
1 cup or 2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar
2 (11.5-ounce) bags semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Sea salt, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Place pretzels in a single layer. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a thick, bubbly caramel, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from heat and pour evenly over the top of the pretzels. Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a double boiler-or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water, being careful the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl-melt the chocolate. Remove pretzel and caramel mixture from the oven and drizzle the chocolate over the top, spreading evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate for at least one hour. When cool and hardened, break bark into bite-sized pieces.
