These Magic Caramel Pretzel Cookie Bars are almost magical tasting
and irresistible. I took the classic recipe and tweaked it a bit with a
few different ingredients. I remember my mom making the classic
version of this recipe when I was younger. I loved how chewy and gooey
they were. Her recipe included butterscotch chips and semi sweet
chocolate chips.
I decided to add a few different ingredients to put a twist on it and I
knew that salty pretzels and caramel bits would be a really great addition! They are something I typically have on hand so it worked out perfect.
Now, let me tell you. This makes about 16 large squares. You could cut
them down smaller so they feed a few more people. Or cut them smaller
so you can snitch a few before you serve them!
Is there anyone else who just love salty sweet treats? They are a pure
weakness of mine so when I come up with a new recipe using both salt and
sugar, it’s almost a dangerous thing! If you’ve never tried anything
salty sweet now is the time. There is something so satisfying about
eating both at the same time.
