Caramel Pretzel Bites

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Makes 24 bites

Ingredients

  • 24 small square pretzel snaps
  • 24 chocolate caramel candies unwrapped
  • 24 pink and red candy coated chocolates
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the pretzel snaps in a single layer on the baking sheet, spaced about an inch apart.
  • Place one chocolate caramel candy on top of each pretzel.
  • Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely, until the candies look glossy and slightly slumped but have not fully melted flat.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press one candy coated chocolate into the center of each softened caramel, flattening it gently with a finger.
  • Sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt over the warm bites while the caramel is still soft enough to hold them.
  • Let the bites cool completely on the pan, about 15 minutes, until the caramel is firm and no longer tacky, before lifting them off.

Good to Know

Double the batch; these bake in one tray and keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
