Toast

Melt Caramel

Combine
  1. Pour the caramel over the toasted pretzels, using a spatula to cover evenly.
  2. Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second bursts until smooth.
  3. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated pretzels.

Notes

For best results, stir the caramel constantly to avoid scorching, and use high-quality chocolate for better flavor. The longer you chill, the firmer the pieces will be when broken.
