Pretzels drizzled with buttery caramel sauce and rich, dark chocolate are turned into the perfect combination of sweet and salty! Add in a pinch of flakey sea salt and you’ve got a 4-ingredient, no-bake treat that everyone will love.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means. It’s time to share some love! I’m not big on giving a box of chocolates to my sweeties but I do love making a treat that I know they’ll love.

This year’s surprise is made with one of my all-time favortie combinations. Sweet and salty. I’ve combined crunchy mini pretzels with caramel sauce (a store-bought shortcut) dark chocolate and flakey sea salt. Together they make a special little treat that’s worthy to share on any special day of the year.

Ingredients For This Recipe:

Pretzels – mini shapes, rods, or even large ones will work
Caramel Sauce – use a good quality sauce and not the ice cream topping stuff
Dark Chocolate Chips – you can substitute milk chocolate if you prefer
Flakey Sea Salt – you can find this in small containers on the spice aisle in the store.

How To Store Chocolate Caramel Pretzels

You can keep the pretzels stored on the counter/pantry in an airtight container. I like to keep mine in the fridge since they are a bit “ooey gooey” from the caramel. As a tip, place them in layers separated with wax paper if you don’t want them sticking together.

Fun & Yummy Additions To Try

Pick out your favorite color (s) of sprinkles and go-to-town!

Drizzle on white chocolate for a festive twist.
