Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pretzels: Break the pretzel sticks into smaller pieces, but not too fine, as you want some crunch in the clusters.
- Melt the Caramel: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the broken pretzel pieces to the melted caramel and mix until well coated. Then, add the melted chocolate and mix everything together until the pretzels are evenly coated.
- Form the Clusters: Using a spoon, drop clusters of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Aim for small mounds.
- Chill: Refrigerate the clusters for about 30 minutes or until they are set. If desired, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before they harden.
- Serve: Enjoy your Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Clusters as a sweet snack or dessert!
