- 5 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the mini pretzels in an even layer.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until combined and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the hot butter-sugar mixture over the pretzels, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Spread out the mixture with a spatula if needed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot pretzels.
- Let the chocolate melt for a few minutes, then spread it evenly across the pretzels with a spatula.
- Add festive sprinkles on top, if desired, and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Once fully set, break the bark into pieces.
