Melt 1 3/4 c. chocolate chips in the microwave; stir every 15 seconds until smooth.
Pour melted chocolate onto a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper; use a rubber spatula to spread it into a rectangular shape.
Layer pretzels on top of the chocolate until pretzels are covered.
Dice apple; dab with paper towels to get rid of as much moisture as possible to prevent the caramel from becoming runny.
Unwrap caramels; microwave in a bowl in 15 second intervals; stir until all are melted.
Stir the apples into the caramel; spread on top of the pretzels.
Transfer to the refrigerator; let sit for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator.
Melt the remaining chocolate; drizzle it on top. Return to the refrigerator for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove it from the refrigerator.
On a cutting board, cut the bark in to bite-sized pieces.
Store the bark well covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tip: It's best to serve it the same day or the pretzels will become soft and the apples will have too much moisture.
