Ingredients:
- 1/2 bag mini pretzel twists
- 2 sticks of butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 bag of chocolate chips
- Sea salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels evenly over the bottom making certain not to overlap. Set aside.
- Melt butter and sugar in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. Bring to a boil, and stir continuously until mixture sticks to the bottom of the pan and forms a smooth caramel. Let it bubble and get nice and thick.
- Pour the caramel evenly over the pretzels.
- Place jelly roll sheet in oven for 5 minutes, remove.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, and place back into the oven for 1 more minute.
