I think that I have found my new favorite holiday: National Caramel Day.
I had no idea that this day existed every April 5, but I will now be adding it to my calendar and celebrating each year.
This year, I wanted to celebrate by sharing this caramel recipe with you.
Werther’s knows how to celebrate National Caramel Day.
They set up this huge bowl of caramel at Times Square in New York City and invited people to come scoop some caramels for themselves and their friends. That’s my kind of holiday.
When it comes to caramel, I automatically think of Werther’s – my sisters and I grew up with those delicious hard candies that literally melted in your mouth.
Werther’s has now expanded its brand to include my new caramel favorite: Werther’s Original Soft Caramels, and they aren’t kidding when they say soft.
They are so smooth and delicious, I couldn’t help but sneak a few while I was making this yummy dessert.
I love that Werther’s caramels are made with real butter and fresh cream and I knew that these soft caramels would melt up nice and gooey.
I also knew that if I drizzled this caramel over a dark chocolate bark, I would have a match made in heaven.
This dessert literally comes together in a matter of minutes and is great when you need a quick dessert that will impress anyone.

Gooey Caramel Turtle Bark Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 4.35 ounces Soft Caramels, we used Werther's
- 1 ½ Tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Equipment
Instructions
- Line a 15x10x1" cookie sheet with wax paper.
- Pour chocolate chips into a medium-sized bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then return to the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth (you may need to throw it back into the microwave for another 30 seconds- it really just depends on the strength of your microwave). Pour melted chocolate onto prepared sheet.
- Using a flat spatula, spread chocolate out on wax paper until it's about 1/4" thick.
- Place unwrapped caramels and milk in a medium-sized bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds, then remove and stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds, then stir until caramel is smooth and creamy (you may need to throw it back into the microwave for another 30 seconds so it can be super creamy).
- Drizzle melted caramel over chocolate, then top with chopped pecans. If desired, drizzle with additional melted chocolate.
- Place bark in the fridge for 30-45 minutes so that it can set up.
- When it has hardened, remove from fridge and use a sharp knife to chop into large pieces (or you can use your hands to break it into small pieces).
