Ingredients You’ll Need

Makes about 16–20 pieces

For the Bark:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark/milk chocolate, depending on preference)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup pecan halves , toasted
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt (optional, for a salty-sweet touch)

Optional Toppings:

  • Crushed pretzels
  • Sprinkles
  • Chopped dried fruit
  • White chocolate drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Pecans

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them for 8–10 minutes , or until fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool slightly while you prepare the bark.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.

Step 3: Assemble the Bark

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the melted chocolate. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the caramel into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
  3. Sprinkle the toasted pecan halves evenly over the top, pressing them gently into the chocolate to adhere.
  4. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt (if using) for a salty-sweet contrast.
