Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Mini Pretzels Twists or snaps work well
  • 1 cup Salted Butter Cut into pieces
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Firmly packed
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tsp Flaky Sea Salt For sprinkling

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Parchment paper

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels in a single, tight layer.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, then let it boil for exactly 3 minutes without stirring.
  3. Immediately pour the hot caramel over the pretzels and spread evenly. Bake for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for 3-5 minutes to melt, then spread into a smooth layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes

Ensure you use parchment paper, not wax paper, to prevent sticking.
Boil the caramel for the full 3 minutes to ensure it sets correctly.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the best texture and longevity.
