Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Buttons on plateThese sweet little snacks are incredibly easy to make. Hitting them with a dash of sea salt brings out the savoury in the pretzels, making this a nicely rounded off little dessert snack. They're versatile because you can use any type of candy in the middle, changing the whole flavour experience altogether. I used Caramel M&M's here. You can be picky about what colours you use to suit your event or holiday.

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • pretzel rings
  • white chocolate
  • dark chocolate
  • caramel chips
  • caramel M&M's
  • flaked sea salt
ingredients
 

Steps:

  1. Melt the white chocolate at 30 second increments in the microwave until silky smooth.
  2. melting white chocolate in bowl
     
  3. Lay out your pretzel rings on a piece of foil or parchment paper.
  4. Pretzels laid out
     
  5. Gently scoop little teaspoon amounts of the melted white chocolate into the rings. Use the very tip of your spoon to push the chocolate around to meet the edges of the pretzels. This will keep them intact when they set up.
  6. Spooning white chocolate into pretzels

  7. Gently press an M&M into the center of each one.
  8. M&Ms in center of prezels
     
  9. Now melt some chocolate chips and caramel chips together in 30 second increments. This mixture tends to solidify more quickly, so you might want to work in smaller batches.
  10. Caramel Chocolate added to Pretzel Buttons
     
  11. Before the chocolate parts set up, dash a bit of flaked sea salt around the edges.
  12. Salting Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Buttons
     
  13. You can be choosy about the colours you use to go with whatever event you're serving these at. Here are some Christmas ones!

My recipe is for chocolate dipped pretzels. I like this recipe because it is great for parties, holidays, candy baskets, and just for fun. The kids like them. I have to be careful when I make them or they will eat them all.

I simply melt white or milk chocolate bricks (found in the baking section of the grocery store) in the microwave for about a minute. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate and put them on waxed paper on a cookie sheet.

I bought one of those large containers of pretzels at BJ's and used 3 bags of candy melts (red, white and green) and made over 300 of these one afternoon. I used the 3 bags of melts but only half of the container of pretzels, which are great eaten by themselves as a low-fat snack. Enjoy!

This is a pie crust made out of pretzels, margarine and Splenda. We do not use margarine, but prefer to use butter. That is the only difference I have really made to this old recipe.

Sometimes I prefer to use honey instead of either Splenda or sugar.

A few months ago I had some mini pretzel rounds that were sandwiched together with what appeared to be caramel and then covered in icing with sprinkles. They were absolutely delicious. It was a catered event so I couldn't get the recipe.

Does anyone (Robin) have any ideas on how these are made or perhaps you've had something similar and know how to make them. I'd appreciate it. I want to make a batch to give as a gift. Thank you

I would melt the caramels in the microwave until soft, then spread them on the pretzels, and top with another. Then I would just dip them in melted chocolate wafers, set on foil and put sprinkles on; then let them set. You could probably even just put a half of a caramel on one pretzel, then bake them at about 250 until the caramels start to "sag", then pull the tray out and quickly cover with another pretzel.

This sounds like a nice combination!

Sounds good and quite easy, especially putting a caramel on a the pretzel and melting in the oven.

Sounds a bit like the pretzel squares with melted Rollo candies we had around Hallowe'en, addictive!

I have a easy recipe that is good, use a small pretzel twist, put a hershey kiss or hug on it and fill a cookie sheet with them.put in oven until they are soft and then press a red or green M"M on them and let harden and you have a yummy treat. Here are some of the treats I made last Christmas.

The easiest way to make them is to put the small pretzels on a large baking sheet and top each one with a Rollo caramel. Bake at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and squash another pretzel on top of the Rollo so the chocolate and caramel ooze through the top pretzel.

When they are cool you can remove them from the baking sheet and dip them in warmed frosting or spread some frosting over the tops and decorate. They are great with just the Rollo and pretzel.

drmeidl, you should place your picture in the Thriftyfun contest. I love the idea of using cookies like Nutty Buddies for Santas. Pretty presentation.

The recipe calls for 2 cups pretzel rods, crushed. I want to use pretzel sticks or other forms of pretzels I have on hand. How do I substitute?

I dont think it should matter as long as you crush them to measure 2 cups worth. Im guessing they just feel it would be easiest to use the rods but 2 cups of crushed pretzels are 2 cups of crushed pretzels regardless of their original shape.

The answer was incorrect, because it says 2 cups pretzel rods when you put Rods in a cup and then crush them they may not equal a cup does she know that

Pretzel salad is a recipe that consists of strawberry jello, a creamy middle and a crust made from crushed pretzels. Although it is called a salad, it's really more of a dessert.

A square of pretzel salad with a strawberry jello topping.
