HOW TO MAKE PRETZEL CANDY

We dipped the bites in semi-sweet and milk chocolate. You can dip the whole pretzel bite or just half of it or make a combination of both. They are fun and festive thanks to the holiday theme sprinkles. They will look gorgeous on your holiday table or packed in mason jars and given away to friends and family.

We love Christmas candy, especially if it's easy and involves caramel. Our goal with these pretzel bites was to use just enough caramel that it will melt into the pretzel holes and not go over it. Half of a caramel square was just perfect to achieve that!

Prep Time 15 minutes mins

Cook Time 7 minutes mins

Total Time 22 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 24 pretzels
  • 12 in caramel squares unwrapped, cut half, I used Kraft
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate melted with 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

  • Layer all pretzels on the sheet.

  • Place half of caramel squares on each pretzel.

  • Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. The caramel will be melty but not completely filing the holes of pretzels. It will spread as it cools. Cool pretzels completely before dipping in chocolate.

  • When cool, dip pretzels in chocolate (cover whole pretzels or dip halves). Tap against the bowl with chocolate to help excess drip off back to the bowl.

  • Place back on the sheet. Sprinkle with funfetti. Let cool completely.

  • Store in air tight container.

Notes

Please note, if your oven runs hotter, bake the pretzels for 4 to 5 minutes. The caramel is just suppose to be heated up to soften.

        Do I still have to melt the chocolate chips? Just a little bit or do I just mix the oil and the chips and start twirling?

    Can you microwave these instead of baking them?

    These look so good, so I bought the ingredients to make them.
    Instead of getting caramels, I bought toffee!! Would toffee work instead of caramels?

    What is the purpose of the oil ? I forgot to add it

    • Ashley says

      The coconut oil helps the chocolate harden like"Magic Shell" chocolate. You could also use golf wax (found near the canning supplies).

    I cut carmel in half and flattened before putting on pretzel. Cooked 2.5 mins in a 350 oven. So yummy thanks for sharing

    Do you have to use coconut oil? Does it give them a coconut flavor? Just wondering, not a coconut fan.

    Thanks

      Hi! You can use vegetable oil instead. The coconut flavor does not come through. I hope this helps!

    Ok I just made these for the first time and they are perfect. I used “mini” pretzels, half of a caramel and lowered oven to 350 for about 5 minutes. The caramels were very soft and just starting to spread when I took them out. They finished filling the surface of the pretzel without sticking them to the parchment paper. I also used CandiQuick to dip them in. Find it in the baking isle. Just melt and use.

    These are great, so great they are hard to stay on plate. I haven't made my own yet but did receive as a gift. I will be making these this year and I am really interested in the whole caramel or half. Thank you Jennifer, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all of my other merry bakers out there.

    The recipe says cut the caramels in 1/2. I think you, or someone, posted that it is better to leave them whole. Please clarify. these look yummy!
