Calories: 96kcal
Equipment
- Pot or saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 bag pretzels (enough to cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer - ~5.5 ounces)
Caramel Layer
- 2 cups butter
- 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Layer
- 12 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place the pretzels on it in an even, single layer.
- Add the caramel ingredients to a medium saucepan on the stovetop and turn the burner on to medium high heat. Allow the ingredients to come to a boil and then turn down the heat to medium and keep the ingredients boiling, stirring the mixture regularly for ~5 minutes until the caramel thickens.
- Remove the pot from the heat and pour the caramel over the pretzels. Spread the mixture with a knife or spoon. Then place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. After it has done baking, freeze the baking sheet for 30 minutes to let the caramel harden.
- Just before you take the pan out of the freezer melt the chocolate by placing the chocolate in a microwave safe dish and heat on high in 30 second intervals until melted.
- Take the pan out of the freezer and pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer. Place the pan black in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Cut the dessert into pieces and enjoy!
