CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PRETZEL PINWHEELS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Pinwheels Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pretzel, crispy rice cereal, marshmallow, butter, caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips, nonstick spray

Provided by Quinton Washington

Categories     Desserts

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups pretzel, crushed
2 cups crispy rice cereal
10 oz marshmallow
¼ cup butter
13 oz caramel, spreadable
11.5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
nonstick spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
  • Combine cereal and crushed pretzels in a large bowl.
  • In another large bowl, melt marshmallows and butter in the microwave for 1 minute & 30 seconds, stirring half way. (Time may vary depending on your microwave, so, keep an eye on it!)
  • Combine cereal, pretzels and melted marshmallows. Mix well.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray generously with non-stick cooking spray. (You might want to spray your hands too!)
  • Remove marshmallow mixture from the bowl and place onto the baking sheet. Spray another piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray and lay the sprayed side on top of the marshmallow mixture.
  • Roll out with a rolling pin into a thin layer.
  • Remove the top layer of parchment paper and evenly spread caramel over the marshmallow mixture. Pour chocolate chips over the caramel.
  • Bake for 2 minutes, or until chocolate chips spread easily across the caramel.
  • Carefully & tightly roll it up longways, peeling back the parchment paper as you go. Cover in plastic wrap & chill for 2-3 hours, or until it has firmed up nicely.
  • Remove plastic wrap and parchment paper, and cut in 1-inch (2 cm) slices.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Be sure to stir the chocolate constantly so that it doesn't seize.
  • To make the caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stir the sugar and corn syrup constantly until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
  • Be careful when adding the baking soda to the caramel. It will cause the mixture to bubble up vigorously.
  • Dip the pretzel rods into the caramel immediately after it has been made. The caramel will harden quickly, so you need to work quickly.
  • Sprinkle the chopped cashews and chocolate chips over the caramel-dipped pretzel rods while the caramel is still wet. This will help them to adhere.
  • Place the caramel-dipped pretzel rods on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the caramel to set completely.

Conclusion:

Caramel cashew pretzel rods are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Get creative and experiment with different toppings, such as crushed peanuts, chopped bacon, or even dried fruit. These pretzel rods are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
