Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups lightly crushed pretzel sticks, regular or gluten free
• 11 oz bag caramels
• 1½ tbsp. milk or cream
• ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• 24 large marshmallows

Directions

• Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spray with cooking spray.
• In a large microwavable safe bowl place caramels and milk. Cook on high for 30 seconds and stir. Cook about 1 minute more, stirring and checking every 15 seconds until it is all melted and smooth. Be care to not overheat because caramel will become very hard when cooled.
• Gently mix in crushed pretzels.
• Using 2 spoons, scrape about a tablespoon full onto the cookie sheet. Push a marshmallow down firmly into the center. Its okay to really push it down, so the pretzels spread a little and the marshmallow sticks to the caramel.
• After all the marshmallows are placed, melt the chocolate and oil together in another microwaveable safe bowl. Cook on high for 45 seconds, stir. Continue to cook for about 1 minute more, checking every 15 seconds, until all the chocolate is smooth.
• Use a fork to drizzle the chocolate over the marshmallows and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
