Enjoy this chocolate pretzel toffee bark recipe that's super easy to make and so decadent and delicious you'll want to make it again and again.
Pretzels, toffee, chocolate, pecans, and salt. What a fabulous combination. This was so good it was addicting.
How to Make Pretzel Toffee Bark
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment. You could also use aluminum foil.
Cover it with pretzels. I like these little square ones but you could use standard mini pretzels. I was also thinking about using mini pretzel sticks.
Next, melt butter and light brown sugar in a pan. Stir it until all the sugar melts.
Then let it bubble up and caramelize for a few minutes.
Pour it all over the pretzels and spread it all over with a high heat spatula.

It doesn't have to look perfect.
Next, place it in the oven for 5 minutes.
Then remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate but dark, semi-sweet, white chocolate, or any kind of chips you love would work just as well.
Place the pan back in the oven for one minute to help the chocolate melt.
Then remove the pan and spread the chocolate all over.
Sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
Finish with chopped pecans or any nuts you like.
Carefully remove the parchment onto the counter or a cutting board.
Then use a large knife to first score and then cut up the pretzel toffee bark slab. I actually set the knife on the score marks and pressed with both hands on top to cut through.
You could also just break it up randomly into different size pieces if you want to but I wanted to make the pieces more uniform.
Allow the lovely pieces of toffee to cool further on a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container and place the toffee pieces in single layers with parchment or wax paper between each layer.
Seriously, this was so good. You have to try it.

Are they supposed to be hard when finished like regular toffee? That's what I was expecting but mine were soft and kind of crumbly. I followed the directions exactly.

Chelsea, I'm sorry it wasn't what you thought. They shouldn't be crumbly but they also won't be as hard as regular toffee.
