Decadent Chocolate Almond Pretzel Bars

Ingredients

- 10 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 5 oz milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup whole almonds
- 1/2 cup almond nougat, chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Base:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Spread an even layer of melted dark chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

2. Layer with Almond Nougat:
- Sprinkle the chopped almond nougat evenly over the dark chocolate layer.

3. Create Almond and Pretzel Layer:
- Scatter the whole almonds and mini pretzels over the nougat, pressing them slightly into the dark chocolate to adhere.

4. Drizzle with Caramel:
- Use a spoon to drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the almonds and pretzels.

5. Top with Milk Chocolate:
- Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, similar to the dark chocolate process.
- Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the entire mixture for sweetness and balance.

6. Sprinkle with Sea Salt:
- Finish by sprinkling sea salt over the top to enhance flavor contrasts.

7. Chill and Set:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are fully set and firm.

8. Cut and Serve:
- Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into bars of your desired size using a sharp knife.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
