Crushed pretzels: 2 cups
Unsalted butter, melted: 1 cup
Packed brown sugar: ½ cup
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 1 cup
Caramel sauce: ½ cup
Sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions:
Prepare Baking Dish:
Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Make Pretzel Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels and melted butter.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Make Caramel Layer:
In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to melt and caramelize, about 3-5 minutes.
Pour the caramel evenly over the pretzel crust.
Add Chocolate Layer:
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm caramel layer.
Allow them to melt for a few minutes, then spread the chocolate evenly with a spatula.
Finish with Caramel Drizzle:
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board.
Cut into bars and serve.
