Salted Pretzel & Caramel Fudge
Description
This Salted Pretzel & Caramel Fudge starts by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a smooth, firm fudge base. Salt and vanilla intensify the flavor. It’s poured into a lined pan, sprinkled and gently pressed with half the crushed salted pretzels, providing a crunchy, salty texture.
A caramel layer made from melted caramel bits and water is spread evenly over the fudge and pretzels, topped with the remaining pretzels to add extra crunch and saltiness. Once chilled in the refrigerator for two hours, the fudge sets firm enough to cut into one-inch pieces.
The contrast of creamy chocolate fudge, chewy caramel, and crunchy salted pretzels creates a balanced, rich flavor profile combining sweet and salty, with varied textures in every bite. This treat suits serving at gatherings or as a dense dessert snack.
