Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels

Hi Everyone, when you need a salty and sweet snack to satisfy your chocolate craving, these Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels are perfect!

You can make a few at a time or use a whole bag of mini pretzels for a big batch which would be great for entertaining or game day.

They are fun and easy to make, the kind of low-pressure recipe that's perfect for doing with other people or as an activity to get the family involved 🙂

I use my 1-ingredient, Easy Caramel (Dulce de Leche) recipe for the caramel dipping sauce in this recipe.

Alternately, you can melt candy caramels in the microwave but I haven't tried that method.

I love how the caramel inside the Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels is soft when you bite into it using the Easy Caramel recipe.

Who can resist a bowl of these Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels?

I can't, I eat them all within a day when I make them!

In fact, as I write this, I am craving more 🙂

I love how these Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels are dipped partway so that when you handle them as you eat them, you don't get chocolate all over your hands - just where it matters - in your tummy 🙂

Ingredients

• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels (You can substitute your favorite chocolate: white, milk, or dark chocolate, I find semi-sweet and dark chocolate easiest to work with)
• 1 bag mini pretzels (16 ounce/1 lb.)
• 1 recipe Easy Caramel (Dulce de Leche)

Kitchen Tools

• various-sized bowls for the chocolate, mini-pretzels, and caramel (medium and small sizes)
• spoons and forks for stirring
• Wax paper, parchment, or a Silpat Silicone Baking Mat (as shown in the pictures, this is a link to the EXACT one I use, it's amazing!)
• a cookie sheet, preferably with turned upsides

I hope you enjoy these Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pretzels!

Ingredients

• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels, (You can substitute your favorite chocolate: white, milk or dark chocolate, I find semi-sweet and dark chocolate easiest to work with)
• 1 bag mini pretzels, (16 ounce/1 lb.)
• 1 recipe Easy Caramel, (Dulce de Leche)

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate morsels in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between each interval. For my microwave, this takes about 3 times.
2. Heat up the already made Easy Caramel in the microwave, just enough so it's easy to stir. For me 2, 30-second intervals (stirring in between) works. The chocolate should be more liquidy than the caramel, so the chocolate will coat the caramel well.
3. Holding each mini pretzel, dip in the caramel partway, and then dip in the warm chocolate. Make sure the caramel is completely covered. Place each one on a wax/parchment/silicone baking mat-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Store in an air-tight container so the pretzels will no stale. I store these in the refrigerator. I recommend consuming them within a day. Enjoy!
