Be still my heart and my sweet tooth, I can’t get enough of these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Clusters.
I recently became addicted to this snack I found at the gas station, Snappers – milk chocolate! But honestly every time I paid for them I would tell myself this is the last time. And every time I would eat them I wished they had more caramel.
I decided I needed to make them exactly the way I wanted and also save some money!
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Clusters
I used my favorite caramel recipe to make these, if you don’t want them to have as much caramel as I do feel free to only use as much as you want. This caramel keeps well in a container in the fridge and is good to eat on ice cream or straight out of the jar with a spoon – yes I do that!
