Ingredients
40 pretzels
20 soft caramels
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
1. Lay out 40 pretzels flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. These will be your bottom layer.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 20 unwrapped soft caramels and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted (about 2 minutes total).
3. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of melted caramel onto each pretzel. Let cool for 5 minutes.
4. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter on each caramel-topped pretzel, then top with another pretzel to make a sandwich. Press down gently.
5. Place the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
6. In another bowl, melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave (about 1-1.5 minutes), stirring until smooth.
7. Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate and place back on the tray.
8. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
9. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
10. Serve or store as desired.
Notes
Use square pretzel snaps for a more even sandwich shape.
Let the caramel cool slightly before adding peanut butter to avoid sliding.
You can fully dip the bites in chocolate for extra indulgence.
