Pretzel Christmas Crack
Pretzel Christmas Crack is a delicious twist on a classic holiday treat that is the perfect combination of salty pretzels, rich caramel and dark chocolate.
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 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Layer
- 12 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pretzels on it in an even layer.
-
Add the caramel ingredients to a pot on the stove and turn on to medium high heat. Allow the ingredients to come to a boil and then turn down the heat to keep the ingredients at a simmer, stirring regularly for 4-5 minutes until the caramel thickens.
-
Pour the caramel over the pretzels and spread until even. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
-
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!
