Pretzel Caramel Brittle sweet, salty, crunchy and the perfect gift

Pretzel Caramel Brittle

Ingredients

• 200g pretzels
• 150g caster sugar
• 150g golden syrup
• 100g butter
• 4 tbs water
• 100g dark chocolate

Method

1. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper and spread the pretzels evenly on the tray - it’s ok if they overlap.
2. Place the sugar, golden syrup, butter and water into a saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir gently until the ingredients have melted and started to bubble.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes (to test, drizzle half a teaspoonful into a glass of cold water; if the caramel hardens, it’s ready). Never leave the pan unattended and turn the heat down if the bubbles rise too close to the top of the pan.
4. Spoon the caramel evenly all over the pretzels and set aside to cool and harden.
5. Melt the chocolate and drizzle it over the top.
6. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, then break the brittle into shards to serve.‍
