Chocolate Caramel Pretzels and Peanut Butter Crackers

At work the other day, a student’s mother gave me a Chocolate Caramel Pretzel all wrapped up in a cute bag.  I absolutely love pretzels, but when you dip them in caramel and chocolate it puts them over the top.

I’m a fan of sweet and salty and these are just that.  I loved the chocolate caramel pretzels so much I decided to go home and make my own.  I wasn’t sure how to make them, so it was fun trying to figure out how to do it.  I bought caramels and chocolate bark and went to work.

Chocolate Caramel Pretzels and Peanut Butter Crackers Goodness

I found them easy to make except I made one mistake.  After dipping them in caramel I put them on a cookie sheet that I had lined with wax paper.  MISTAKE!  They stuck to the wax paper.  Who would have thought!  Oh well, I tried again and this time I put them on a buttered cookie sheet.  Much better!

Sometimes you have to try things a couple of times or more to achieve success!  These turned out so delicious that I got a little carried away and decide to dip my peanut butter crackers in the caramel and chocolate, too.
