Four ingredient Salted Caramel Pretzel Squares
Salty and crunchy pretzels meet soft and sweet dates in the shape of a delicious chewy bar
- Yield: 9 squares 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 120g pitted dates
- 2 tbsp nut butter
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 60g pretzel sticks, pretzels or such*
- A handful of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the first four ingredients into a smooth “dough”. Add around half the pretzels, process a little bit more, then add the remaining pretzels and chocolate.
- Transfer to a square baking pan lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap. My pan was 15 x 15 cm. Let firm in the fridge before cutting. Enjoy!
Notes
The pretzels in the bars do absorb moisture and will soften rather quickly. The bars stay good for long, but after the first day they’ll be more soft and not as texturally exciting.
*In Sweden, you can’t really find regular pretzel. What we do have, which you can find in any store, is “salta pinnar”, which basically are pretzels in the shape of a twig/stick.
