Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line a 15" x10" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Lay the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet, covering the entire bottom of the pan. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.

Step 4

Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the top of your pretzels, spreading it evenly to coat all pieces.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

While the pretzel toffee is baking, melt the Ghirardelli wafers according to the package instructions.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately pour the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated pretzels. Use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped walnuts or holiday sprinkles on top of the pretzels for extra crunch and festive flair.

Step 9

Allow the bark to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces.
