Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
1/4 cup milk
1 cup chopped pretzels
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, make the caramel. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the caramel candies and milk. Stir constantly until the caramels are completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted caramel evenly over the baked crust.
Sprinkle the chopped pretzels evenly over the caramel layer.
Scatter the chocolate chips over the pretzels.
Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the edges are bubbly.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra salty kick, use salted pretzels.
You can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer, such as milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
Allowing the bars to cool completely will make them easier to cut.
