I made this to bring to a Christmas party. Everyone just raved about it! It was the hit of the party! I used unsalted mini pretzels, because that's what I had in the house. They worked very well. When I broke the bark into pieces, I was left with some shavings of the bark. I saved all these "shavings" and served them over vanilla ice cream. Delicious!!!!

This was really easy to make and I didn't use a microwave, I just melted everything in a pot on a very low flame and then added the last three ingredients and laid out on some parchment paper to harden. The taste was good but if you love caramel you would think this is outstanding; my tastes prefer a more chocolatey taste and less caramel so I'd decrease the butterscotch and increase the chocolate next time.

Tomorrow I'm doubling my usual 5 mile run to work off all the candy I ate today. This is so good!!! I used dark bitter chocolate though (I got the 86% cocoa from Callebaut). It's sweet and salty, it has raisin, pretzel and peanut. Makes great energy bar actually.
