Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bars

I am a salty, sweet person. I originated, although I see no royalties, the popcorn/M&M mix when you go to the movies! If this is news to you, please try it. It’s so good. This dessert is all those elements in one easy to assemble bar. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry to make it easier. I used GF pretzels to make sure everyone could enjoy them.

Salted Chocolate Caramel and Pretzel Bars

Serves a whole family and their friends

Originally from Tastes Better from Scratch

INGREDIENTS

12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips , good quality chocolate divided into pieces (I like ghiardelli best for melting)

8 ounces mini pretzel twists , half of a regular 16-ounce bag

11 ounce bag caramel

sea salt for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate chips gently 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 tablespoons water and melt according to package instructions (on high for 2 minutes). Stir well and drizzle the melted caramel over the top of all of the pretzels.

  5. Melt remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and drizzle over the caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt.

  6. Refrigerate until hardened.

  7. Cut or tear into pieces, Enjoy!
