Description

A decadent dessert tart combining sweet chocolate, crunchy pretzels, and creamy filling for a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups pretzels, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Assorted chocolate candies for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar until well mixed.
  3. Press mixture into a tart pan to form the crust and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  4. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  5. Pour chocolate filling into cooled pretzel crust and spread evenly.
  6. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
  7. Decorate with assorted chocolate candies.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, leave some pretzel pieces larger when crushing.
  • Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for a sweeter tart.
  • Best served chilled but can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
