We are pretzel bite crazy at Two Sisters Crafting. To us, they are the perfect bite of sweet and salty goodness. We have topped our pretzel bites with different things and decorated them in different ways, but these are our absolute favorites. They take a tad bit more time to make, but they are well worth it. We thought when we did the pretzel bite with the Rolo that it couldn’t get better, but we were wrong. These are the absolute best. And you can decorate them for ANY holiday or party, like these Thanksgiving Caramel Pretzel Bites.

You only need these four ingredients to make these delicious sweet and salty Pretzel snacks. We’ve seen (and tried ourselves) a Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bite that uses Rollo candies to get that yummy chocolate-caramel combination but this recipe is 1000% better than that one. Keep reading to find out how to achieve the perfect ratio of chocolate/caramel/sweet/salty/crunchy goodness.
We also used the special Harvest Blend bag of M&M’s and some Orange M&M’s from a regular bag. The Harvest M&M’s usually start being available in stores around mid-September and we’ve seen them all the way through Thanksgiving. The Harvest-colored M&M’s have a special gold color and a darker red and brown. If you can’t find that, you can pull out the yellow, red, orange, and brown M&M’s from a regular bag of M&M’s.
How to Make

Step 1: The first step is preparing the Caramel candies. We used Brach’s Caramel candies.
Step 2: Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel candy piece in half.
Step 3: Then use the palm of your hand to roll the pieces of caramel into balls.
Step 4: Take the caramel ball and gently press it onto the Pretzel Snap, flattening the caramel until it is slightly smaller than the pretzel itself.

Step 5: Each Pretzel Bite will use one caramel and one Hershey Kiss candy.
Step 6: Unwrap the Kiss and use a knife to slice off the pointy top of the chocolate candy. This will give you just the right amount of chocolate for the pretzel bite.
Step 7: Place a handful of Kisses bottom-up/cut-side down on a paper plate.
Step 8: Melt the Chocolate Kisses in the microwave for approximately 50 seconds until they are soft but not runny.

Step 9 – 10: When you take the slightly melted Kiss out of the oven, press a single M&M onto the top as shown above. Use the tip of a knife to transfer the chocolate disc to the caramel disc. Place the pretzel bites in the refrigerator to firm back up. You are done! These Spring Caramel Pretzel Bites are just that easy to make!
