5 Ingredients to Make It

This caramel apple bark with pretzels is so good, I know once you get a taste you’ll be as obsessed as I am. The best part? The ingredients are as simple as can be, and you can easily put your personal twist on them! Check out the recipe card below for exact measurements.

White and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: These are the chocolatey goodness in your bark. I used the semi-sweet chocolate as the bark’s base and the white chocolate for drizzling on top. You also can try different kinds like dark or milk chocolate chips for a unique flavor. Pretzels: These add a satisfying crunch and a bit of saltiness. Apples: The apples give your bark a fruity kick. You can pick tart ones like Granny Smith or sweeter ones like Honeycrisp. Soft Caramels: The caramel is the sweet superstar here. I used Kraft caramel bits, but any kind of soft caramels will work.

How to Make Caramel Apple Bark

Caramel apple bark is extremely easy to whip up. Really, the hardest part is waiting for it to chill and set! This takes 2-3 hours, so be sure to allow yourself enough time if you’re making it for a get-together.

Different Chocolate: You don’t have to use semi-sweet and white chocolate, you can use whichever kind of chocolate you prefer! You could even go for some melted butterscotch chips. Yum! Thick Chocolate Layer: A thicker layer of chocolate is better than spreading it too thin. The apples, pretzels, and caramel need a sturdy base to support them! Using Other Caramels: If you can’t find the Kraft caramel bits, the amount is equivalent to about 70 regular Kraft caramel squares. You may also substitute the caramel bits for 16 ounces of your favorite soft caramels, but the final melted consistency may vary from brand to brand. More Toppings: You can add whatever additional toppings you love with your caramel apples. Try adding chopped peanuts, or use all white chocolate and a dusting of cinnamon sugar for an apple pie caramel apple bark.
