Salted Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bars (Print Version)
# Ingredients:

12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips, good quality.
02 -
8 ounces mini pretzel twists.
03 -
11 ounce bag Kraft Caramel Bits.
04 -
Sea salt for sprinkling.
# Instructions:
01 -
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
02 -
Gently melt 8 ounces of the chocolate chips in the microwave by heating on low and stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and velvety.
03 -
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately scatter the mini pretzel twists over the chocolate, allowing some overlap, and gently press them into the chocolate to secure.

Place the caramel bits in a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water, and melt according to the package instructions, heating on high for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and drizzle this warm caramel over the pretzels, creating a sweet, sticky layer.

Melt the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate chips and drizzle over the caramel layer. Finish by sprinkling sea salt across the top for a delightful contrast.
06 -
Refrigerate the tray until the chocolate is firm and set, then cut or tear the bars into desired pieces and enjoy your delicious creation.
