Caramel Pretzel Bites

April 11, 2013 by pictureperfectcooking

Welcome to this month’s edition of the Lady Behind The Curtain’s Dessert Challenge!

Lady Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge

The two special ingredients in the spotlight for April are pretzels and caramel.  This turned out to be a pretty easy choice for me since I had a recipe pinned that used both of these tasty items…Caramel Pretzel Bites from La Dolci Vita.  The original recipe makes 50, but I just made 25 bites.

CaramelPretzelBites

25 pretzel nuggets

25 soft caramel pieces

12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

Unwrap the caramels and, using a rolling pin, flatten each one into a circular shape. Place a pretzel nugget on the caramel and wrap the caramel around it.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave by heating them on high for 45 seconds.  Stir to start the melting process and then microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each to completely melt the chips.  This shouldn’t take more than about a minute and half, if that long.

Dip each caramel/pretzel bite into the chocolate until they are completely coated.  Let the chocolate set and then eat up!
