Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mini salted pretzels evenly across the sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and pourable. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
Drizzle the melted caramel over the pretzels, ensuring an even coating. Be careful to use a spoon for precision if needed.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated pretzels.
Repeat the melting process for the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the pretzels in a contrasting direction for a decorative effect.
Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the pretzels while the chocolate and caramel are still wet. If using sprinkles, add them at this step for additional color and flavor.
Allow the Sweet and Salties to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set more quickly.
Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized clusters and transfer to a serving dish or storage container. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
