How to make chocolate caramel pretzels
Step 1: Prepare the tray
To begin, preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, arrange pretzels evenly on the baking sheet.
Step 2: Melt the Caramel
Next, unwrap the caramel candies and cut them in half. Place one-half of a caramel candy on top of each pretzel.
After, pop the tray in the oven to bake for 3-5 minutes. When the time is up, the caramel won’t be fully melted, but thats okay.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
Then, while the pretzels and caramel cool, melt the chocolates separately. To melt the chocolate use a microwave or place it over a double boiler.
If using the microwave, melt gently in 30-second increments.
Step 4: Dip and Sprinkle!
Next, dip the pretzel with melted caramel into the chocolates alternating between the white chocolate and milk chocolate. Finally, while the chocolate is still warm, add sprinkles to the chocolate caramel bites
