Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels, crushed

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits (or soft caramel candies)

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

• Whole mini pretzels for topping

• Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pretzel Base

In a bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and powdered sugar.
Press the mixture evenly into a lined 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base.

Step 2: Add the Caramel Layer

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel bits with the heavy cream, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Pour the caramel evenly over the pretzel base and spread it out with a spatula.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter for a creamier texture.

Step 4: Assemble the Bars

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the caramel layer.
Gently press whole mini pretzels onto the top while the chocolate is still warm.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
