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

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

- Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for a sweeter tart.
