Equipment
- Microwave
- Microwave-safe plate
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- measuring cup
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 35 Kraft Caramels unwrapped
- 1 cup dark chocolate morsels
- 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles *can also use flaked sea salt
- 70 Pretzel Snaps (square pretzels)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- On a microwave-safe plate, place a caramel on top of each pretzel. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until caramels are just soft to the touch. Every microwave is different so timing may vary. Just be sure to keep an eye on them because they can burn if the caramel gets too hot.
- Gently push the top of the pretzel onto the melted caramel to form a sandwich. Transfer the bites to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Some caramel might stick to the plate so be quick.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Once you repeat the process for all your caramels, it is time to dip the bites in the melted chocolate.
- Add sprinkles or flaked salt to the chocolate portion of your bites.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
