Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Base Layer

  • 6 ounces pretzel sticks

Toppings

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp Skor bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Spread the pretzel sticks evenly on the lined baking sheet in a single layer to create a crunchy base for the toffee.
  3. Make Toffee Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup salted butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a boil, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely and the toffee is smooth.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Pretzels: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged pretzels, making sure to cover them well for a balanced flavor and texture.
  5. Bake Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes to allow the toffee to melt and bind with the pretzels, creating a crunchy candy base.
  6. Apply Chocolate Topping: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer to allow melting.
  7. Spread Melted Chocolate: Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the melted chocolate to cover the entire toffee and pretzel layer uniformly.
  8. Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle additional broken pretzel pieces and 1 tsp of Skor bits over the chocolate for extra texture and flavor contrast.
  9. Cool and Set: Let the pan cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the toffee bark to harden completely.
  10. Serve: Once set, break the toffee bark into bite-sized pieces and enjoy as a sweet and salty snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use salted butter to balance the sweetness and saltiness.
  • If Skor bits are unavailable, crushed toffee candy or caramel bits can be used as an alternative.
  • Store the toffee bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • Be cautious while pouring hot toffee as it is very hot and can cause burns.
  • Can be customized by adding chopped nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
