Girl, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings, I’ve perfected these Loaded Sweet & Salty Pretzel Bites that are totally worth breaking your diet for (but who’s counting calories at midnight anyway? 😉).
You know those moments when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly need something that hits all the right spots? This is it, honey! These pretzel bites are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and absolutely addictive.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 bag of mini pretzels
– 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup of caramel bits
– Sea salt (trust me on this one)
– Crushed potato chips (yes, you read that right!)
– Optional: crushed peanuts or sprinkles
Now, let me walk you through this super simple process that’ll have you snacking in no time:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange your pretzels in a single layer.
2. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals (don’t you dare burn that chocolate!)
3. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pretzels (get messy with it!)
4. Melt those caramel bits the same way
5. Drizzle that golden goodness over the chocolate
6. Sprinkle with sea salt and crushed potato chips
7. Pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes
And voilà! You’ve got yourself the most Instagram-worthy midnight snack ever!
