Witches make merry…. you’re going to be spellbound by our Caramel Pretzel Treats!
These chewy, creamy, chocolatey, goodies are coveted around our place this time of year especially.
Caramel Pretzel Treats
Delight in this blast from Halloweens past, actually October 28, 2010, and it’s wickedly wonderful for our 2015 Halloweek celebration. Have fun making Caramel Pretzel Treats, especially with your kiddos. The hardest part is unwrapping all the candies; caramels, Rolos, Hugs, and Kisses. Gratefully, that’s the part the kids think is so much fun, so enlist your little helpers in this endeavor.
It’s not too late to stir up wickedly good treats my little pretties! No magic spell needed to whip these up, these are incredibly fast and easy.
I like to use Hershey’s Hugs and Kisses, Rolos, or any kind or snack size candy bars, (Snickers are amazing), along with pretzel snaps.
After little hands are washed up, I line my trays with parchment sheets or a silpat sheet, I have one spread out the pretzels on the sheet while the others are unwrapping goodies. When all the candies are unwrapped and the pretzels are on the trays the real fun begins.
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees. Now, just start adding your Kisses or Hugs; I used Candy Corn, Pumpkin and Candy Apple, seasonal flavored Hershey’s Kisses on each pretzel…
Or try some chewy caramel Rollo candies this time around….or a plain caramel works too, all though I gotta warn you, they are super messy and sticky. Just let them cool completely on the tray and then gently remove them with a thin spatula after they’ve hardened back up.
S’witching ’em up…sweeties… aren’t they cute and colorful little goodies.
Ok, sorry I’m getting ahead of myself a little. Once the candies are on the pretzels, place them in the oven for about 6-7 minutes. Just till they are soft and a little melty. Take them out and quickly add an M&M or candy corn on top and gently press them down. Allow them to cool completely and set back up. You can place them in the fridge for a few minutes if you’d like to speed up that process.
I love to pack little cellophane bags with Caramel Pretzel Treats for extra special trick or treaters.
Making your victims cackle with delight!
I love to make these kinds of goodies for my grandkiddies. On Friday I’ll be sharing this year’s treat. What are you fixing for your little gang? It’s so much fun to hear your plans.
Just know, it’s just a treat having you here…thanks so much for joining us and Happy Halloweek. Here’s a pin for you, my treat!
Renée is passionate about making and sharing ALL things delicious! Her happy place really is her kitchen where she loves whipping up memories with her family and friends. Raised in sunny Southern California she's spent her adulthood in Idaho, both sides of her great state. She's married to an amazing man, and together they have 5 children, who gave them five more, and now they have 28 grandchildren. So there’s always a reason to cook and celebrate around their place!
She used to scare me so much as a little kid, now I try and dress up like her! Love all the little pretties. They all look gooey and wickedly delicious, so pretty too. Happy Halloween Gnee.

The Duchess makes a similar one with pretzels, rolos, and pecans. THIS is a great way to take that idea to the Halloween theme.
It’s the perfect October treat!
