salted caramel chocolate bark recipe - featured image

A dangerously delicious and easy-to-make treat combining rich chocolate and gooey salted caramel, perfect for gifting or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 6 oz milk chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a rimmed 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt dark and milk chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  4. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir gently until sugar dissolves and mixture turns a rich amber color, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and 1 tsp sea salt flakes.
  6. Immediately drizzle the warm caramel over the chocolate layer and gently spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. While caramel is still warm, sprinkle extra flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bark is fully set and firm to touch.
  9. Once set, lift the bark from the pan using the parchment and break into irregular chunks.

Notes

Use a candy thermometer to reach 240Β°F (115Β°C) for perfect caramel. Stir gently to avoid grainy caramel. Sprinkle sea salt just before caramel sets. Work quickly with caramel as it sets fast. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week or refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
