Caramel Candy Pretzel Rods-Two Ways Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Unwrap caramels and place in a large microwave safe bowl with the water; microwave on high 1 minute or until smooth. Heat in additional 15 second increments if necessary. Let cool until bowl is just barely warm to the touch (will help caramel set quicker on the pretzels)
  • Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dip each pretzel in the caramel and/or spread with a butter knife so that all but 1" to 1 1/2" of the pretzel is covered. Let set for a minute, then dip or roll in either M&M's OR toffee bits/mini chocolcate chips, pressing into caramel with your hand. Place on parchment paper line sheet.
  • When done, place sheet in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set.
  • Meanwhile, melt white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips in separate bowls in the microwave (takes about a minute).
  • Drizzle each pretzel with white chocolate, then dark chocolate and place on tray.
  • Return to refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set completely.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap or cellephane bags and secured with a ribbon.

    These pretzels are awesome! I had a very hard time trying to find the mini m&m's...I ended up using some mini Christmas m&m's I had around. So, they look very festive, even if it isn't Christmas right now! I had no problems with the caramel setting up...mine hardened very quickly. I also had to rewarm it several times during the dipping process. My siblings loved these...my 5 year old brother especially couldn't wait to try one! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe...it is beautiful, delicious, and very kid friendly!!!
