A friend posted the recipe for these Salted Chocolate and Caramel Pretzel Bars on her Facebook page. What a combination: chocolate, caramel, pretzels. Sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy. I'm adding these to my Christmas cookie plate this year.
And those caramel bits...wow! No need to unwrap all those little caramel squares. Open the bag, dump them in a bowl. Easy. And maybe buy an extra bag because they are way too easy to nibble.
Salted Chocolate and Caramel Pretzel Bars
Ingredients
12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 oz. mini pretzel twists
11 oz. bag Kraft Caramel bites
Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt 8 oz. of the chocolate chips in the microwave on low heat, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
3. Spread the chocolate evenly over the parchment. Immediately add the pretzel twists over the top (it’s OK if they overlap) and gently press them into the chocolate.
4. Add caramel bits to a microwave safe bowl with 2 T. water and melt according to package instructions (on high for 2 minutes). Stir well and drizzle the melted caramel over the top of all the pretzels.
5. Melt remaining 4 oz. of chocolate and spread over the caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt.
6. Refrigerate until hardened.
7. Cut or tear into pieces. Enjoy!
