Description
A delightful treat that combines rich caramel, crunchy pretzels, and smooth chocolate, enhanced with a sprinkle of sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups pretzel pieces
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon water
- Flaked sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread pretzel pieces across the parchment paper in a single layer.
- In a saucepan, combine caramel candies and water over medium heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted caramel over the pretzels, ensuring even coverage.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pretzels, spreading gently to cover completely.
- Sprinkle flaked sea salt generously over the top before the chocolate sets.

- Once set, break it into rustic chunks and enjoy!
Notes
To avoid a grainy texture in your caramel, melt it slowly. If using chocolate, consider adding espresso powder or vanilla extract for added flavor.
