Serves: 12 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes
24 pretzel rods
2 11 oz white chocolate chips
24 caramel candy squares
1 T vegetable oil
colored sugar sprinkles
chopped nuts
mini chocolate chips
Pour white chocolate chips and oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes stirring once halfway through, set aside.
Using the heat from your hands roll a candy square between them until it is pliable. Once easily workable wrap the caramel around the top of the pretzel rod and wind around leaving a 2 inch space at the bottom. Dip the caramel covered part of the pretzel and roll in the white chocolate to coat. Then sprinkle with sugar sprinkles, chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips. Place on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet to set. Cool in fridge for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
Tasty Tidbit: Decorate these with green and red sprinkles or blue sprinkles for Christmas and Hanukkah, or the pink, green and yellow you see here for easter. Or you can make them in your kid’s soccer team colors. Everyone will ask you to bring this one to parties for years to come!
Meaty Morsel: They also make a great gift wrapped up in cellophane and a ribbon! Or they’d be a best seller at your next bake sale!
This recipe is always a huge hit. My sister in law got this idea from her sister in law and around holiday time none of us can go a party without the hostess asking us to whip up a batch of “THE pretzels.” You’ve been warned, be careful who you make them for because they’ll be asking for them all the time too.

Oh, yum! I make chocolate pretzels a lot but never thought to add the caramel!
Just wondering if I wanted to use dark chocolate instead of the white {shudder}, does it stay soft for dipping as long as the white goo does? Thanks.
I’ve seen a recipe for these before & thought they looked so cute & would be a nice sweet treat. One of these days I’m going to have to make time to make these! I know my young ones would have fun helping! Thanks for sharing!

Pretty yummmy looking! I bet they taste fab!
