Ingredients:
- 1 cup salted pretzel pieces (broken into smaller bits)
- 1 cup roasted peanuts (chopped or whole, based on preference)
- 1 cup caramel or soft toffee (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips
- Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the salted pretzel pieces and roasted peanuts. You can break the pretzels into smaller, bite-sized pieces if they’re too large.
- Caramel Layer:
- Melt your caramel or toffee (either in the microwave or on the stove) until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Gently pour the melted caramel over the pretzel and peanut mixture, making sure all pieces are coated. Stir to combine and coat evenly.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Spread the caramel-coated pretzel and peanut mixture out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up and set.
- Chocolate Coating:
- In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to ensure it’s fully melted and smooth.
- Once melted, dip each piece of the caramel-pretzel-peanut mixture into the chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or spoon to lift them and gently tap to remove any excess chocolate.
- Finishing Touches:
- Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of coarse sea salt over each chocolate-covered bite to add a touch of extra flavor.
- Chill Again:
- Return the tray to the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely, which will take about 1-2 hours.
- Serve:
- Once set, the snacks are ready to enjoy! Serve them on a platter or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Enjoy! This snack is a perfect blend of sweet, salty, and crunchy, and it’s sure to satisfy anyone’s craving for a tasty treat.
