Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel crumbs (crushed pretzels)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the pretzel crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the caramel layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream mixture over the caramel layer in the baking dish, smoothing it out to create an even top layer.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and set.
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
For a cleaner slice, chill the pan until very firm and run a sharp knife under hot water before each cut. Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
