Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces gluten-free pretzel sticks
  • 1.5 cups grass-fed butter ghee, or butter flavored coconut oil (see notes for tips)
  • 1.5 cups maple sugar see notes for substitutes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 ounces gluten and dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add pretzel sticks to baking sheet, spreading in an even layer. Remove any pretzels that won't fit, and set pan aside.
  • Add butter and maple sugar to a medium sauce pan, and heat on medium. Stir frequently until butter melts, then increase heat slightly to bring mixture to a soft boil. Once boiling, cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramel begins to foam and thicken.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Immediately drizzle caramel over pretzel pieces. Start at one end of the pan, and drizzle back and forth in a steady stream, covering as many of the pretzels as you can.
  • Transfer pan to the preheated oven, and bake for 8-10 minutes, until caramel thickens, bubbles up, and distributes throughout the pan.
  • Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top of hot toffee. Transfer the pan back to the oven for another 2 minutes, or until chocolate begins to melt.
  • Remove pan from oven, and use a spatula to spread chocolate into an even layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let rest on a wire rack until cool.
  • Once cool enough to handle, transfer to the refrigerator to finish setting. To speed things up, you can transfer pan to the freezer.
  • Break into pieces and enjoy. Stored in an airtight container bark will keep at least 4-5 days, if it lasts that long!

Notes

  • If you are using coconut oil, your caramel may be a bit soft. It will still work as a toffee base, but the texture and flavor will differ slightly from the original.
  • Coconut sugar, or even brown sugar, can be substituted for maple sugar. If you can, find and use maple sugar though, it really elevates the flavor.
