SWEET AND SALTY PRETZEL CAKES RECIPE BY TASTY



Sweet And Salty Pretzel Cakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: milk chocolate, butter, golden syrup, pretzel

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup milk chocolate, or dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
¾ cup pretzel, crushed, plus more for decoration

Steps:

  • Make a bain-marie by filling a pot with a little water. Rest a heatproof bowl on the rim of the pot, making sure that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
  • Cook on a low heat and when the water starts to simmer add the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup to the heatproof bowl and allow it to melt - when it's nearly there, give it a quick stir and take it off the heat.
  • Stir the crushed pretzels in to the chocolate mixture.
  • Line a muffin tin with muffin cases - if you have the time, you can line each muffin case with 5 pretzels to form a little holder for the mixture. one on the base, and 4 walls, but this isn't totally necessary, the mixture will hold on it's own when set. A single pretzel on top is a fairly good compromise!
  • Fill the muffin cases with the chocolate mixture and allow to set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Enjoy!

  • Use a baking soda bath: This will give the pretzels their characteristic golden brown color and chewy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the pretzels from sticking together and baking evenly.
  • Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Enjoy the pretzels warm or at room temperature: They are delicious either way!
