Easy Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites Recipe - super easy candy idea for the holidays! Great gift for chocolate and caramel lovers! 

I always make this treat for the holidays and serve it on a tray with my Sugar Cookies and Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies. They are so festive!

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PRETZEL BITES

Our craving for homemade candy is in full swing. My Hubby has been asking me for days to make caramel pretzels and they finally happened. All dressed in chocolate and festive holiday sprinkles! Yes, please! I will take a dozen, thank you so much!

HOW TO MAKE PRETZEL CANDY?

We dipped the bites in semi-sweet and milk chocolate. You can dip the whole pretzel bite or just half of it or make a combination of both. They are fun and festive thanks to the holiday theme sprinkles. They will look gorgeous on your holiday table or packed in mason jars and given away to friends and family.

We love Christmas candy, especially if it's easy and involves caramel. Our goal with these pretzel bites was to use just enough caramel that it will melt into the pretzel holes and not go over it. Half of a caramel square was just perfect to achieve that!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 24 pretzels
  • 12 in caramel squares unwrapped, cut half, I used Kraft
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate melted with 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Layer all pretzels on the sheet.
  • Place half of caramel squares on each pretzel.
  • Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. The caramel will be melty but not completely filing the holes of pretzels. It will spread as it cools. Cool pretzels completely before dipping in chocolate.
  • When cool, dip pretzels in chocolate (cover whole pretzels or dip halves). Tap against the bowl with chocolate to help excess drip off back to the bowl.
  • Place back on the sheet. Sprinkle with funfetti. Let cool completely.
  • Store in air tight container.

Notes

Please note, if your oven runs hotter, bake the pretzels for 4 to 5 minutes. The caramel is just suppose to be heated up to soften.

    Thank you for the recipe! My mom and I made these yesterday. I used mini pretzels with half of the caramel placed in the middle, allowed the caramel to soften then took out and pressed softly on the Carmels turned out perfect. I melted chocolate chips and then dipped the pretzels. Why do you add oil? (I omitted that)
