I brought these savory-sweet pretzels to a family gathering, and they disappeared from the dessert tray before dessert was even served! My family raves about how awesome they are. —Carrie Bennett, Madison, Wisconsin

Mother Lode Pretzels Recipe

Prep: 35 min. + standing

Yield: 54 Servings

35 35

Ingredients

1 package (10 ounces) pretzel rods
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
1 tablespoon evaporated milk
1-1/4 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butterscotch chips
2/3 cup milk chocolate toffee bits
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

With a sharp knife, cut pretzel rods in half; set aside. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt caramels with milk. In a large shallow bowl, combine the chips, toffee bits and walnuts.
Pour caramel mixture into a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Dip the cut end of each pretzel piece two-thirds of the way into caramel mixture (reheat in microwave if mixture becomes too thick for dipping). Allow excess caramel to drip off, then roll pretzels in the chip mixture. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4-1/2 dozen.

Really good and fairly easy to make. I bought the mini pretzel rods so that I didn't have to cut full size rods and it worked out really well. The caramel is hard to keep melted, but that was really the only thing that was even remotely difficult. Will definitely make again.

I made these for a Super Bowl get together and they were a big hit! Everybody loved them and a couple of people asked for the recipe! A great party item. Yummo!
