Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup soft caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to create an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to pack it tightly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the crust cools, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Drizzle the caramel mixture over the chocolate layer and use a knife to gently swirl it into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for extra texture and sweetness.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 equal squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
