🍫🥨 Caramel Chocolate Pretzels
Ingredients (makes ~24 treats)
- 24 small pretzel twists or rods
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp corn syrup or honey
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz (115 g) semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped or chips
Instructions
- Prep pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange pretzels in a single layer.
- Make caramel:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
- Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
- Bring to a gentle boil and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Coat pretzels: Spoon or drizzle caramel over each pretzel. Let cool slightly until firm but still tacky.
- Add chocolate: Melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle over the caramel-coated pretzels or dip them halfway.
- Set: Place on parchment and refrigerate 15–20 minutes until chocolate and caramel are firm.
- Serve: Enjoy as a sweet & salty treat.
Tips
- Prevent sticking: Let caramel cool slightly before topping with chocolate.
- Extra crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts or sea salt over chocolate before it sets.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days.
