Ultimate Chocolate Caramel Bites

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
- 8 mini pretzel twists

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Microwave Station
Arrange a microwave-safe plate with a piece of parchment paper for easy clean-up. Gather all the ingredients nearby for quick access.

2. Melt the Caramel
Place the caramel candies in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the heavy cream to help smooth the caramel. Microwave the mixture on high for approximately 1 minute, stopping every 15 seconds to stir. Continue until the caramel is fully melted and smooth. Be cautious of hot spots.

3. Set the Caramel Coating
Dip each mini pretzel twist halfway into the melted caramel, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated pretzels on the prepared parchment paper-lined plate and let them cool for 5 minutes.

4. Melt the Chocolate
In another microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

5. Assemble the Chocolate Caramel Bites
Dip the cooled caramel-coated end of each pretzel into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the parchment paper. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added flavor dimension.

6. Chill the Bites
Set the plate in the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill for at least 10 minutes or until the chocolate and caramel hardens.

7. Serve and Enjoy
Once set, serve the Ultimate Chocolate Caramel Bites immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
