Ingredients:

    2 cups pretzel sticks

    1 cup graham cracker crumbs

    1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted

    1 cup brown sugar, packed

    1 cup sweetened condensed milk

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 cup chocolate chips

    1 cup caramel sauce

    Sea salt, for sprinkling

How to Make No-Bake Salted Caramel Pretzel Bars:

    Prepare the crust:

        In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed pretzels, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter.

        Press the mixture firmly into a lined 9×13-inch baking pan to form an even base.

    Make the caramel layer:

        In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

        Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5–7 minutes).

        Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

    Assemble the bars:

        Pour the caramel mixture over the pretzel crust and spread evenly.

        Drizzle or sprinkle caramel sauce on top, then scatter chocolate chips over the surface.

        Sprinkle lightly with sea salt for that perfect sweet-and-salty contrast.

    Chill:

        Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

    Serve:

        Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
