Salty and sweet desserts always win me over. Salted caramel and chocolate are at the top of that list and Chocolate Caramel Pretzels meet all the requirements.
Chocolate Caramel Pretzels are an easy dessert recipe. Salty and sweet and decorated for just about any holiday, your guests will requests these over and over!
Basic mini twist pretzels are baked for just a few few minutes with a piece of caramel and let to cool. Dip in chocolate, white, dark or milk and then decorate with your favorite sprinkles!
I like to use a mix of a few kinds to make my dessert tray just a little more interesting.
Chocolate caramel pretzels are also the perfect make ahead dessert idea. They stay tasty in an airtight container for several days so they are great for making ahead. They also ship well and are liked by kiddos and adults alike.
You will need to have one special item, a non-stick silicone baking mat. You can also use parchment paper, but I find the silicone baking mats to be easiest.
Dipping chocolate can be made in the microwave, but has the tendency to get gloppy, so I use a double boiler
for a creamy and even melt.
