The saltiness and crunch of the pretzels combined with the sweetness of the caramel and sprinkles make this a delectable snack or after-dinner treat. These also make a healthy hostess gift for a friend. Three ingredients and 8 minutes are all you need to make these quick and easy snack treats. You can melt the caramels either in the microwave or on a saucepan over low heat. The trick with either method is to make sure that you consistently stir the caramel so that it doesn't burn. For the sprinkles, you can use multi-colored sprinkles. Or, if you are making them for a specific holiday, you can use certain holiday colors.

Ingredients

Caramel candies

1 oz, soft, about 4 squares

Pretzel rods

2 stick(s)

Sprinkles

1 Tbsp, chocolate

Instructions

  1. Put caramel squares in a glass bowl and microwave on high for 10 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat until caramel is melted. Or melt caramel squares in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Dip 1/3 of each pretzel rod into caramel, then roll in sprinkles. Place on wax paper and allow to harden for 5 minutes before eating.
