Ingredients
50 mini pretzels
30 soft caramels
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup chocolate chips or melting wafers
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2. Unwrap the caramels and melt them in a saucepan with heavy cream over low-medium heat, stirring until smooth.
3. Arrange half the pretzels on the baking sheet and spoon melted caramel onto each.
4. Top with the remaining pretzels to form sandwiches.
5. Let them set for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate briefly.
6. Melt the chocolate chips or wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
7. Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway or fully into the chocolate and return to the tray.
8. Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
9. Let them set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
10. Store in an airtight container once fully set.
Notes
If the caramel starts to harden during assembly, reheat it gently to maintain a spreadable consistency.
Using parchment paper ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
For best results, sprinkle the sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
