Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 12 ounce semi-sweet chocolate (divided)
  • 1-1/2 tsp shortening (divided)
  • 12 ounces mini pretzel twists (3/4 of 16 ounce bag)
  • 11 ounce caramels (wrapped or Homemade Caramel Chews)
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instruction

  • Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of shortening in the microwave (on low heat, stirring every 15 seconds) until smooth. Spread the chocolate evenly over the parchment, to form a rough 10 x 15 rectangle. Immediately add the pretzel twists over the top. (pretzels will overlap) and gently press them into the chocolate.
  • Add caramels to a microwave safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water and melt according to package instructions (on high for 2 minutes). Stir well and drizzle the melted caramel over the top of all of the pretzels.
  • Melt remaining 4 ounces of chocolate with remaining 1/2 teaspoon shortening and drizzle over the caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Refrigerate until hardened, 30 - 60 minutes. Peel chocolate away from the parchment paper and cut into bars
  • Store leftovers in covered container in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
