    Easy Salted Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Bark from www.SeasonedSprinkles.com

    I’m all about easy this Christmas. Give me all the yummy treats as long as I can make them in like 10 minutes or less with little fuss. I’m also apparently on a huge salted caramel kick. It must be because my salted caramel chocolate butter bars were so good, I’m now craving the combo like it’s going out of style. Fortunately, this salted caramel pretzel chocolate bark meets all my criteria.

    Full of salted caramel and chocolate? Double check!

    How’s that for a winning combo this time of year? I just can’t get enough of the salty sweet combo. It’s so good. And, making this candy is such a good excuse to use sprinkles! Cue excessive use of exclamation marks!!! I love any excuse to use sprinkles. Really, sprinkles are the glitter of the dessert world. In a good way though, not like rice cereal which is the annoying glitter of the food world that gets everywhere and I find myself cleaning out from between the floor boards and the slip covers. But that’s another story.

    This candy takes less than 10 minutes to throw together. And it doesn’t even require the use of a stove or oven. Just a microwave, two bowls, and tray lined with wax paper. Then just like that, you’ve got a tray of this that would be the perfect candy to serve as Christmas dessert. Or if you’re me, you pick at it all day long. Because before you know it’s 5 pm and the only actual food you’ve eaten is this…and 3 very large cups of coffee.

    I’m not the only one in this house that loves this candy. Goose loves it too.

    Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

    This is how it started…

    In fact she loves it so much that she might have photobombed my photo session.

    Before I knew it…this happened

    Or, you know totally interrupted it and made it grind to a screeching halt.

    Started off nice and clean…

    If you follow along with me on Instagram, you know that she’s often underfoot while I am doing my food pictures. Most times, she just wants to take pictures too with her play camera so she can be like mommy. (Be still my heart.)

    This is where it really starts to go down hill…

    Other times, like when we made the easy baked corn, she gets a little excited.

    Ohh yeah it happened…chocolate everywhere…

    And totally takes over the shoot. This time, she crawled up onto the table that I use to set my shoots up and helped herself.

    But look at this face! How can I be mad at it?

    In case you’re wondering, yes, that is a sprinkle in her hair.

    If this isn’t the face of pure joy, I don’t know what is! Who cares that she’s a hot mess?

    Clearly, Goose loves Sprinkles too. Or at least considers them the glitter of the hair accessory world for toddlers.

          It’s like a rule or something that if you give a small child chocolate they will end up using it as a beauty treatment.
