Description
Salted Caramel Pretzel Clusters are a delightful combination of sweet and salty flavors, perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks, roughly chopped
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup soft caramel squares, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and setting it aside for later use.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramel squares and heavy whipping cream. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips using the same method until they reach a silky consistency.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped pretzel sticks with the warm caramel, ensuring that every piece is generously coated.
- Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the caramel-coated pretzel mix and place them onto the lined baking tray, forming small clusters.
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over each pretzel cluster, making sure they are thoroughly covered.
- Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cluster for that perfect sweet and salty balance.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing the clusters to set and become firm.
Notes
- For added crunch, mix in 1/2 cup of chopped almonds or walnuts into the pretzel mixture before forming the clusters.
- Swap the dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate for a creamier taste.
