Gourmet Pretzel Rods image

They're CRUNCHY and CHEWY and SWEET and SALTY and have a touch of CHOCOLATE... the ultimate snack! I get the peanuts and caramels in the bulk food section of the grocery store. It took me a couple of tries to get the caramel right (if you use 2 tablespoons water like some recipes for caramel apples call for, it stays too gooey; if you don't use any water, the caramel gets hard as a rock!)

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these ones are actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These pretzels were easy to make and turned out great! I used sea salt instead of regular salt and they were perfect.

I've tried many pretzel rod recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pretzels are soft and chewy on the inside and have a perfect crispy crust. Yum!
