If that didn't quite convince you, how about the fact that they are SUPER easy to make. Perfect for when you don't have an hour or two to spend in the kitchen.
I love how these White Chocolate Caramel Churro Bars turned out!! One of my new favorite treats for Christmas or anytime!
White Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Churro Bars
*makes 1 sheet pan
Ingredients:
2 bags of Caramel Bits
2 TBSP Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cups white chocolate (I used Guittard Choc-Au-Lait)
1 1/2 TBSP Shortening
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 TBSP Cinnamon
1/3 bag Pretzel Snaps (the square ones)
Directions:
Prepare a sheet pan by covering with a piece of parchment paper or greasing it.
In a medium sized, microwave the caramel bits and cream on high for 1 1/2 min. Stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir and repeat as needed until caramel is smooth and pourable.
Scrape/ pour the caramel onto the pan. Spread thin, covering the bottom. Place pretzels into caramel placing as close together as possible.
Microwave chocolate and shortening together in a medium bowl for 1 minute. Stir, then return to microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir until smooth then pour over caramel and pretzels. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle all over the top of the chocolate.
Let bars sit until chocolate is hardened up. I left these overnight, but you could speed the process up by putting it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or so. Just be sure to let the bars sit at room temp for at least 15 minutes before to allow caramel to soften up.
Cut into 1 1/2 in bars. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container.
Note: Recipe can be halved to make a 9 X13 in pan.
