Salted Caramel Pretzels Nuts (Printable)

Crunchy pretzels and mixed nuts coated in a rich, buttery salted caramel coating.

# What You'll 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

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix the mini pretzels with mixed unsalted nuts and set aside.
03 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the granulated sugar and stir continuously until the mixture becomes a golden amber color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
04 - Carefully whisk in the heavy cream, allowing the mixture to bubble. Add sea salt and vanilla extract, stirring until the caramel is smooth and glossy.
05 - Pour the hot caramel immediately over the pretzel and nut mixture. Gently toss with a spatula to coat evenly.
06 - Spread the coated mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle additional sea salt on top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until caramel is set and lightly darkened.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Break the mixture into clusters before serving.
