• Mini Pretzels: Provide a crunchy, salty base that perfectly balances the sweetness. Crushing them coarsely ensures texture in every bite.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds creamy sweetness and helps create the smooth caramel layer.
• Unsalted Butter: Adds richness to the caramel and enhances flavor.
• Light Brown Sugar: Provides depth and a hint of molasses to the caramel mixture.
• Caramel Sauce: Intensifies the caramel flavor, making the bars even more decadent.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Melted chocolate forms a rich top layer that complements the salty pretzels and sweet caramel.
• Sea Salt Flakes (Optional): A sprinkle of sea salt adds a gourmet touch and heightens the sweet-salty contrast.
