Caramel Wrapped Pretzel Rods Recipe
This Caramel Wrapped Pretzel Rods Recipe is a fun and simple treat for any day. These sweet and salty sticks taste amazing and look very pretty. I love how easy they are to make at home.
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup melted chocolate optional
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
Melt the Caramels
- Place soft caramels and cream in a saucepan. Heat slowly until smooth and fully melted for easy wrapping.
Prepare the Pretzel Rods
- Lay pretzel rods on parchment paper. Keep them spaced well so they do not stick together.
Coat the Pretzel Rods
- Dip each pretzel tip in melted caramel. Let extra caramel drip off before placing it on the sheet.
Wrap the Caramel
- Use a spoon to guide caramel around each rod. Turn the rod to coat it evenly without clumps.
Add Chocolate (Optional)
- Dip caramel pretzels in melted chocolate. Let them dry on parchment paper to keep the shape.
Add Toppings
- Sprinkle fun toppings on the rods. Do this before the caramel or chocolate hardens.
Let Them Set
- Allow the rods to cool fully. This helps the caramel harden and stay in place.
Notes
- Melt caramel on low heat for best texture.
- Dip rods halfway for easy holding while eating.
- Add crushed nuts for extra crunch.
- Use high-quality caramel for rich flavor.
- Place rods in the fridge for faster setting.
