Ingredients
Pretzels
- 1 (12-ounce) bag pretzel rods about 30 rods
- 1 (16-ounce) package chocolate candy quick
- desired toppings and sprinkles
Homemade Caramel Sauce
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make caramel sauce by melting your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, milk, and corn syrup. Boil over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Around 240°F (mixture will get thicker, a little shiny, and a tad darker). Remove from heat, add vanilla, and stir.
- Dip each pretzel in caramel and set on wax paper. You can choose to repeat this step for extra gooey pretzels.
- While caramel is setting, melt entire tray of chocolate candy quick according to package directions.
- When caramel is just a tad sticky to the touch, carefully lift rod and dip in chocolate. Place on a clean sheet of wax paper to harden.
- Be sure to sprinkle your preferred toppings immediately, before chocolate has set so that it sticks to the pretzels.
- For a beautiful white drizzle, wait for chocolate to harden, then melt a few squares of the white candy quick and drizzle over the top.

Notes
- If you wish to dip two colors of pretzel rods you will only need to melt ½ of the package of chocolate candy quick and ½ a package of vanilla candy quick.
