Dipped Caramel Pretzel Bites
Dipped Caramel Pretzel Bites consist of square pretzels sandwiching small cubes of caramel, half dipped in melted chocolate, then drizzled with white chocolate. This combination balances sweet and salty flavors with a variety of textures—the crunch of pretzels, chew of caramel, and smoothness of chocolate. These bite-sized treats can be prepared ahead and chilled to set the coatings.

Ingredients
- 1 batch caramels homemade or 200 store bought caramels see notes above
- 24 ounces chocolate you can use milk chocolate candy bars or chocolate melts
- 2 ounce bags pretzels (we used Snyder's butter pretzels, the square ones)
- 8 ounces white chocolate melts form
Instructions
- Prepare homemade caramel (it should be enough to fill an entire jelly-roll pan, the recipe provided above is the perfect amount). Allow caramel to cool and cut into small squares about the same size as the pretzels.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate (not including the white chocolate) at 50% microwave power in 30 second increments, until melted, stirring each time.
- Place a caramel between 2 pretzels and gently press together.
- Dip half of the pretzel "sandwich" into the melted chocolate, shake off excess, and place on to wax paper. Repeat until you run out of caramel and/or pretzels.
- When all the pretzel bites are done and completely set (you may need to put them in the refrigerator), melt white chocolate (same as above) and drizzle over the top of the bites.
- Allow white chocolate to set, then serve!

Notes
- Prepare these pretzel bites up to one week in advance and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
- Use square pretzels for easy sandwich assembly and consistent bite size.
