Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Pretzel Crumbs
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
- In a bowl, mix the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the crumbs look wet.
- Press the crumb mix into the bottom of the pan firmly to make an even crust.
- Warm the caramel sauce to make it pourable, then pour it over the crust and spread gently.
- Chill the pan in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to let the caramel set slightly.
- In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the caramel layer.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing into bars.
Notes
For a firmer topping, chill the whipped cream before slicing. You can add more sea salt for a stronger contrast.
