Caramel Pretzel Bites
Ready In: 3 hrs 10 mins
Yields: 50 candies
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) bag caramels
- 1 (10 ounce) bag pretzel nuggets
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 cups natural almonds, toasted and finely chopped (optional)
Directions
- Unwrap the caramels, then using a rolling pin, roll out each one into a 1/8-inch thick oval.
- Wrap a rolled-out caramel around each pretzel nugget, pinching the ends to seal.
- In a double boiler over simmering water, melt half of the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
- Add the remaining chocolate, remove the top of the double boiler from the saucepan and stir until smooth.
- Place the almonds, if using, in a shallow bowl.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Using a fork, dip a caramel covered pretzel nugget in the chocolate to coat, tapping off any excess chocolate.
- Transfer the pretzel to the almonds and toss to coat; place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining pretzel nuggets, reheating chocolate as needed.
- Let stand until set, about 3 hours.
