Ingredients

For the Base

11.5 oz Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips Reserve ¼ cup for drizzling later
8 oz Mini Twist Pretzels Overlapping slightly for texture

For the Topping

11 oz Kraft Caramel Bits Combine with 2 tablespoons of water for melting
½ cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips Optional, can substitute with nut-free options

Method

Preparation

In a small glass bowl, combine the Hershey chocolate chips (reserve about ¼ cup for later). Microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted, stirring in between.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, creating a nice layer.
Arrange the mini twist pretzels on top of the melted chocolate, overlapping them slightly for a delicious texture.
In a separate bowl, place the Kraft caramel bits with 2 tablespoons of water and microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. Drizzle this over the pretzels and chocolate. Allow it to cool.
Melt the reserved ¼ cup of chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled caramel. Follow this with a drizzle of the Reese’s peanut butter chips, ensuring an even distribution.
Let the bars cool fully (or refrigerate) before slicing and serving. Enjoy every delicious bite!
