Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 oz milk chocolate chips
- 11 oz caramel bits or unwrapped soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cups toasted pecan halves
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures the bark does not stick and makes cleanup very easy.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the melted caramel over the chocolate layer in a decorative pattern. Use a knife to lightly swirl the caramel into the chocolate if desired. Immediately press the toasted pecan halves into the mixture while it is still wet.
- Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top of the bark. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate and caramel are completely firm.
- Once set, lift the bark off the parchment paper. Use your hands to break it into rustic shards or use a sharp knife to cut it into even squares.
