Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

Ingredients: 

• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 bag of mini or regular pretzels (I used 50 mini sized pretzels)
• 12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
• sea salt for sprinkling  

Instructions: 

Preheat oven to 400º. Line a 13 x 9 pan with parchment paper. Cover the pan with pretzels (only one layer). 

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter. Once the butter is bubbling add the brown sugar. Stirring occasionally let the brown sugar and butter melt down and brown. Do not let this mixture boil. The browning should take about 3 minutes. When the butter and brown sugar is browned poor it over the pretzels evenly. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, but quickly, the caramel will harden quickly. Bake the pretzels and caramel for 5 minutes. 

Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the entire bag of chocolate chips over the caramely pretzels. Place back in the oven for 45 seconds, but no longer because the chocolate will burn. 

Remove from the oven. With a spatula, spread the chocolate gently over the caramel pretzel bark. Sprinkle with sea salt and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
