Think of Twix bars, but with an even more decadent sweet and salty twist! Gluten-free, salty pretzels help form the biscuit, topped with creamy, sticky-sweet caramels and bittersweet chocolate. If you're looking for a good GF brand of chocolate, Baker's is actually GF anyway!

How to make it
Pretzel Cookie
- In a small dish, whisk together flaxseed and hot water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat together shortening and sugars.
- Add the pretzel crumbs and flaxseed mixture and beat well, then add the flour and beat in.
- Chill 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8" pan.
- Press the dough into the pan and prick holes all over the batter.
- Bake 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes.
Caramel Layer
- Melt caramels in a microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour over the baked cookie layer and chill 1 hour, until firm.
- Cut into 18 bars.
Chocolate Coating and Assembly
- In a double boiler over simmering water, melt together unsweetened chocolate, semisweet chocolate and shortening until smooth.
- Keep over low simmering water.
- Dip one bar at a time to coat completely in chocolate, and place on a wire rack to set. Repeat coatings if desired (I like an extra thick chocolate layer myself!)
