Caramel from Jenny Can Cook
Jenny Can Cook's crunchy caramel recipe, adapted.
- 2 sticks butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 2 t salt
- 2 t vanilla
- Crush up Pretzels a bit, just enough to lay in a jelly roll pan a single layer thick. VERY IMPORTANT, DISCARD EXTRA SALT. Pretzels are formulated to be too salty, they guess some will fall off and you'll throw away the remaining salt in the bag. If you use all this salt it is too salty
- Melt half the chocolate, just enough to make a base layer for the pretzels to stick into.
- Lay the Pretzels in it, breaking pieces as needed to fit them into the chocolate.
- Make Caramel
- WORK QUICKLY---Pour it and spread over the pretzel mixture
- Drizzle with the dark chocolate on top
