  • 1 1/2 cups Mini Salted Pretzels Provides a perfect textural contrast.
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Adds a creamy sweetness.
  • 1 cup Sugar Vital for making caramel sauce.

  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Ensures smooth caramel.
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment or wax paper.
Melting Chocolate
  1. Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate using a double boiler or microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals until completely melted.
Pressing Pretzels
  1. Immediately press the mini salted pretzels into the melted chocolate.
Making Caramel
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a beautiful amber color.
  2. Once melted, add the butter and stir until melted.
  3. Drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring. Allow to boil for 1-2 minutes and stir in the sea salt.
Pouring Caramel
  1. Pour the caramel over the pretzels, saving some caramel aside if desired.
Melting Milk Chocolate
  1. Melt the Milk Chocolate in the same manner as the semi-sweet chocolate and layer it over the caramel.
Chilling
  1. Cover the baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator until set, or use the freezer to speed up the process.
  2. Once set, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Consider adding chopped nuts or drizzling white chocolate for extra flair. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
