Salted Caramel Christmas Bark

Ingredients

  • 2 11 oz packages of Kraft Caramel Bits (Kraft Caramels work too, you just have to unwrap them all)
  • 2 11.5 oz packages of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 11.5 oz packages of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
  • Vanilla Bean Sea Salt I use Jacobsen Salt Co Vanilla Bean, but regular course sea salt works too
  • 4 tbls water

Instructions

  • Line a standard jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with edge with waxed paper or foil.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave one package of the Kraft Caramel Bits with 2 tbls water for 2 minutes, stirring half way. Remove from microwave and stir. If not fully melted, microwave an additional 30 seconds.
  • Mix 1 bag of milk chocolate chips and 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in separate bowl and melt in microwave for 2 minutes, stirring half way. If not fully melted, microwave an additional 30 seconds.
  • Spread melted chocolate onto wax/foil lined jelly roll pan.
  • Pour melted caramel over top of chocolate. Swirl with a spatula or fork.
  • Repeat steps 2-5 for second layer of each.
  • Sprinkle sea salt over top. Use a lot! It tastes amazing.
  • Put cookie sheet in freezer to set. (about 30 minutes)
  • Once bark has set, remove from freezer to break into pieces. I turned mine over and broke it with a meat hammer (tenderizer) into small pieces. This is a rich dessert, so just a bite or two is the perfect size!
  • Store in refrigerator in an air tight container until ready to serve.

Notes

yields about 30-40 pieces of bark
