Ingredients

10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
1 cup chopped pecans divided
15 soft caramels
2 teaspoons heavy cream

Instructions

Choose a baking sheet that will fit into your refrigerator and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate melting wafers and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on the stove top.
Add ¾ cup of the pecans to the melted chocolate. Stir gently until incorporated.
Pour chocolate mixture onto your parchment lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread to about ¼ inch thickness to create a 10 to 12 inch oval.
In a bowl, add soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30 second increments until caramel is soft and warm. Stir until heavy cream is fully incorporated.
Use a spoon to drizzle the caramel over the chocolate bark. Top with reserved pecans.
Transfer baking sheet to the refrigerator or freezer to harden for about 10-15 minutes. Break into pieces and store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Storage: Candy bark will keep at room temperature for about 1 week or in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks in a tightly sealed container.
Can I use chocolate chips?: No. Meting wafers are tempered and meant for melting and at-home candy making. Chocolate chips are meant to hold their shape and solidify with a dull, soft texture instead of the candy "snap" you achieve with melting wafers.
