Whip up these delightful Salted Caramel Pretzel Bites for a perfect sweet and salty snack. They’re easy to make and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (12-16 ounces) pretzels
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Continue to boil for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the caramel thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
- Dip each pretzel into the caramel, coating it well.
- Place the coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with additional sea salt while the caramel is still wet.
- Let the pretzels sit until the caramel is firm, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- For a richer caramel, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- If you prefer a chewier caramel, cook it for a shorter amount of time. For a firmer caramel, cook it a bit longer.
- You can add other toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles.
