Chocolate Caramel Bark

A nostalgic treat featuring silky chocolate, buttery caramel, and crunchy pecans, perfect for holiday trays and gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz chocolate almond bark, chopped
  • 25 caramel squares (about 1¼ cups caramel bits)
  • 12 tbsp water or heavy cream
  • Whole pecans, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare your tray. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving at 50% power for 3 minutes, then stirring and continuing to melt for 1 to 2 more minutes until smooth.
  3. Melt the caramels in a separate bowl with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or heavy cream, microwaving in short bursts until smooth.
  4. Reserve 1/4 cup of melted chocolate for drizzling later, then pour the remaining melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet.
  5. Add spoonfuls of melted caramel over the layer of chocolate, leaving space between dollops.
  6. Swirl the caramel into the chocolate to create a marbled effect and sprinkle whole pecans on top.
  7. Drizzle the reserved chocolate across the bark.
  8. Let the bark sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours until fully firm, then cut or break into pieces and serve.

Notes

For a creamier caramel, use heavy cream. This bark can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
