Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 pieces Mini pretzels
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 200 grams Soft caramels
- 30 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams Crushed peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Lay half of the mini pretzels on the baking sheet, flat side down.
Spoon a small amount of peanut butter (about 1 teaspoon) onto each pretzel. Use the back of the spoon to spread it slightly, keeping the layers even.
Place the remaining pretzels on top of the peanut butter layer to form a 'sandwich' and gently press down. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, carefully drizzle the melted caramel over each pretzel sandwich, ensuring the caramel coats the top and drips slightly down the sides. Allow the caramel to set for about 5 minutes.
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each caramel-covered pretzel bite into the melted chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle crushed peanuts and a pinch of sea salt (if desired) over the top of each chocolate-coated pretzel bite before the chocolate sets.
Repeat for all pretzel bites. Let them sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to fully set.
Once the chocolate hardens, serve your Caramel Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.
