Description

These no-bake Caramel Pretzel Bars combine salty and sweet flavors for the ultimate indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Mini Pretzels, lightly crushed
  • 11 oz Soft Caramel Candies, unwrapped
  • 3 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, melted
  • Flaky Sea Salt (optional, for garnish)
  • Extra Crushed Pretzels (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, spreading the crushed pretzels evenly across the bottom.
  2. Place the unwrapped caramels and cream into a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted.
  3. Pour the melted caramel over the pretzel base, allowing it to slightly cool before adding chocolate.
  4. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth, then pour over the cooled caramel.
  5. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.

Notes

For best results, do not over-crush the pretzels and always add the heavy cream when melting caramels to maintain softness.
