Ingredients
For the Pretzel Sandwiches
- 40 pieces mini pretzel twists
- 20 pieces soft caramels (Werthers or Kraft)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional) This can be omitted if not available.
- coarse sea salt For sprinkling on top.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Arrange 20 mini pretzel twists on the lined baking sheet. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of melted caramel on each pretzel.
- Top each caramel-filled pretzel with another pretzel twist to form sandwiches. Let them cool slightly.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-30 second bursts until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. Drizzle any extra chocolate over the tops.
- Sprinkle coarse sea salt generously over the chocolate before it sets.
- Chill the bites in the fridge until the chocolate hardens, about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Feel free to use dark chocolate or experiment with toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles for a unique twist. These bites can be made a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
