Caramel Pretzels

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Make Caramel Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar. Continue to stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring, then remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and sea salt.

  3. 3

    Coat Pretzels

    Place the pretzel twists in a large bowl. Pour the caramel sauce over the pretzels and toss gently until all pretzels are well coated.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Spread the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until they are bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Add Chocolate

    Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot pretzels. Allow them to sit for 5 minutes to melt, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pretzels.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the caramel pretzels cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into pieces. Serve on a dessert plate.
