Salted Caramel Pretzels Nuts (Printable)

Crunchy pretzels and nuts coated in buttery salted caramel for a sweet and salty snack.

# What You Need:

→ Snack Base

01 - 3 cups mini pretzels
02 - 2 cups mixed unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, pecans, peanuts)

→ Caramel Coating

03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
05 - 1/4 cup heavy cream
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine mini pretzels and mixed nuts. Set aside.
03 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add granulated sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves and gains a golden amber hue, about 5 to 7 minutes.
04 - Carefully whisk in the heavy cream; the mixture will bubble. Add sea salt and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and glossy.
05 - Immediately pour the hot caramel over the pretzel and nut blend. Using a spatula, gently toss to ensure even coating.
06 - Spread the coated mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through until caramel is set and slightly darkened.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Break into clusters before serving.
