Yes it is however, I’ve caved (heh) and added temperatures this time as markers. I believe when it disappears into the batter, it simply didn’t cook enough to become caramel candies vs. just firmed up caramel sauce, if that makes sense. I’ve also reduced the cream a little bit, so the caramels are less soft. August 31, 2019

Chocolate: I used semisweet chocolate chips melted with a little coconut oil or shortening which helps it set up shiny with a nice snap. You could also use the Ghiradelli dark chocolate melting wafers instead. Using Kraft caramels: If you would rather skip making the homemade caramel, you could use Kraft caramels instead and melt them with a little bit of heavy cream, half-and-half, or evaporated milk. Follow the directions in my Homemade Turtles Candy post where I share how to take this approach! Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. While the butter is melting, place enough pretzels on the prepared baking sheet to form a single, even layer. These are amazing as written but we cant help but wish they had walnuts in them. I made the caramel with our goat milk (not cream) and it was easy and perfect. It took longer than 4 minutes though to get the sugar to turn copper colored. We did add the baking powder… and we just love these! September 1, 2019 Does anyone have any idea on how long these might keep? Looking to do them for Christmas and trying to get baking done early, I just don’t want the pretzels to go soft, or have problems. Could these handle 2 weeks in sealed Tupperware?These are large and rich brownies and they can be cut into 16 small brownies instead of 9 large brownies if desired. If you love brownie recipes, you must try my super-popular Brownie S'mores, Red Velvet Brownies, and Bourbon Brownies. Jump to: Mini Pretzels: Mini pretzels offer crunch and saltiness to the bark, contrasting the sweet caramel and chocolate layers.

Oh, I was hoping it was going to be a successful GF bake! GF baking usually requires less butter and a rest time to take away the lovely sandy texture. Maybe I’ll try anyway??? February 8, 2023Use a serrated knife. A large serrated knife is best to cut through the caramel and pretzels cleanly. First, melt your chocolate. Good quality chocolate chips are a must! I like the ghiardelli brand of chocolate chips, for melting, or you could even melt a a couple of Hershey’s chocolate bars. Next, Smooth the melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Throw on some pretzels (they don’t need to be in an even layer). Then, drizzle the pretzels generously with melted caramel and top the bars with some more melted chocolate and a little sprinkle of sea salt–YUM! Step 2: Add in the butter.​ After 5-6 minutes, the sugar should be completely melted and amber in color. Spread ½ to ⅔ of the melted chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in an even layer. You captured PERFECTLY the agony and doubt and ache of sending your kid off to camp for the first time. (“Why did I think this could be a good idea? What if he is sad for 10 seconds? What if he thinks we just got rid of him on purpose? What if he doesn’t think of us even once? What if I am inadvertently helping him to become independent?!!”) September 26, 2019
