Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

40 Pretzel Rods
16 ounces chocolate*
1/2 batch homemade caramel* (, or 1 bag store-bought caramels)

Steps:

  • Prepare two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Prepare homemade caramel (or melt store-bought caramels). Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Allow homemade caramel to cool for about 15 minutes before dipping.
  • Dip Pretzel Rods in caramel. I use a spoon to scoop the sauce onto the pretzels and turn them as I go. Allow excess sauce to drip off and place the dipped pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • After the caramel sets and cools some of it may pool at the base of the pretzel, causing the bottom to be flat. Use your hands to mold the caramel back around the rod (or just roll the rod gently on the parchment paper to smooth it around).
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, on half power, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate into a tall glass. Dip the caramel-coated pretzels in melted chocolate. You can use a spoon or spatula to help smooth the chocolate up and around if you need to.
  • Lay the dipped pretzels on a parchment lined sheet. While the chocolate is warm, you can sprinkle on a few light weight toppings or sprinkles, if desired.
  • Allow the chocolate to set up before eating or removing from parchment.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the baking dish
8 ounces sliced white bread, crusts discarded, cut into 1-inch pieces
One 13-ounce box frozen soft pretzels (6 pretzels), including salt packets
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs plus 3 yolks
12 soft caramel candies, halved
12 soft caramel candies
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the bread pudding: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss to coat. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, follow the package directions for microwaving and salting the pretzels (don't use all the salt). Quarter each pretzel.
  • Whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, whole eggs and yolks in a medium bowl.
  • Scatter the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Top with the pretzel pieces (turning some over to show off the nicely browned bottoms) and then nestle in the caramel candy halves. Pour the custard over the mixture. Cover with foil and set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Bake until the bread pudding is set with a slight jiggle in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, combine the caramels, butter and cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring halfway through, until the caramels and butter melt together, about 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth and thick. (The caramel sauce can be made ahead of time and then reheated to loosen up for serving.)
  • Drizzle the bread pudding with the caramel sauce and sprinkle with some pretzel salt before serving.
