- 3 x 100 g milk chocolate bars broken into pieces (10.5 oz total)
- Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions
Make the Caramel
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until fully dissolved and golden. Stir in the butter until combined. Pour in the cream, whisk until smooth, and bring to a boil. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Prep the Baking Sheet
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Arrange the Pretzels
- Spread pretzels in a single layer across the prepared sheet.
Add the Caramel
- Pour hot caramel evenly over the pretzels, spreading gently to cover.
Bake
- Bake for 5 minutes to let the caramel soak into the pretzels.
Melt the Chocolate
- Meanwhile, melt chocolate bars in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or microwave in short bursts), stirring until smooth.
Top the Bark
- Remove pretzel base from oven and drizzle melted chocolate over the surface in a zigzag or full coating.
Finish
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and optional chopped nuts.
Chill
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or until fully set.
Break and Serve
