These Salted Caramel Pretzel Magic Bars are a delightful blend of sweet and salty. They have a buttery shortbread base, a rich caramel and chocolate layer, and are topped with crunchy pretzels for a satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and caramel bits evenly over the warm crust.
  7. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the chocolate and caramel.
  8. Top with the crushed pretzels.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the caramel is melted and bubbly and the pretzels are lightly toasted.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra salty kick, you can sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top before serving.
  • If you can’t find caramel bits, you can chop up a caramel candy bar.
  • Make sure to let the bars cool completely for clean cuts.
