Ingridients

Caramel Sauce

  • 1cup (200g) white sugar
  •  90gunsalted butter, room temperature cut up into 6 pieces
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

Salted Caramel Bars

  • 350grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 230grams salted pretzels
  • 320grams caramel bits

Instructions

Caramel Sauce

  1. Heat 1 cup of white sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat resistant rubber spatula or a wooden spoon.
  2. The sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn.
  3. When the sugar is completely melted, add the butter. Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added.
  4. Stirring the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Very slowly, add in the heavy cream. Since the cream is colder than the caramel, the mixture will bubble and/or splatter once added.
  6. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pot as it boils.
  7. Remove from heat. Allow to cool completely before using it.
Handy Hint:

The caramel can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. keep sealed tightly and warm the caramel up for a few seconds before using it in a recipe.

  2. Melt 220grams of the chocolate chips in the microwave (on low heat, stirring every 15 seconds) until nice and runny. 
  3. Spread the chocolate evenly over the baking paper. straight away evenly add the pretzels over the top (it’s ok if they overlap) and gently press them into the chocolate.
  4. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of all of the pretzels.
  5. Melt the remaining chocolate the same as the first lot and drizzle over the caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt.
