1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

2. Grab a large cookie sheet (mine is 11x17) and line it with tin foil.

3. Spread 8 ounces of pretzels over the top of the foil.

4. Break the pretzels into chunks. You can leave them whole if you like as well.

5. Toss 1 cup butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar into a medium-sized sauce pan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure everything is blending together nicely.

6. Once you have a rolling boil going, keep the heat at medium and stop stirring. Let it bubble away for 3 minutes.

7. Immediately pour the hot candy over the top of the pretzels.If you have a few gaps that's ok. The candy will fuse itself together when you bake it.

8. Pop it into the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven to cool.

9. Immediately sprinkle 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips over the top of the hot candy.

Allow the chocolate to sit for about 5 minutes while it soaks up the heat from the candy, then spread the melted chocolate out over the top of the bark.

10. If you like sea salt, go ahead and sprinkle some along the top of the melted chocolate.

11. Allow the candy to set up. You can pop it into the fridge to speed up the process if you so choose.

12. Cut into chunks and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container.
