White Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Churro Bars

 Guys, you NEED to try these bars! They are the perfect balance of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy. The Cinnamon Sugar sprinkled over the top adds a nice warm spiciness to the whole thing making for a very satisfying bite. So scrumptious without being overly sweet! 

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.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
