Salted Caramel Pretzel Almond And Cacao Bars Recipe By Tasty Recipes

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PRETZEL BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In the bowl of a food processor, combine pretzels and sugar and process until you have fine crumbs. Add melted butter and process until evenly moistened. Transfer mixture into prepared pan and press down into a compact, even layer. Bake until crust is fragrant and edges are browned, about 17 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans and set aside.
• Prepare the caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, cream, brown sugar and salt. Heat mixture over medium heat, stirring, until butter melts and everything is well combined. Turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour over pecans and prepared crust. Bake until caramel is bubbling and has darkened slightly, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack.
• While caramel cools slightly, melt chocolate in short bursts in a heatproof bowl in a microwave or over a pot of simmering water. Let chocolate cool for a few minutes, then spread evenly over caramel. Sprinkle with crushed pretzels and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator to set for 30 to 60 minutes.
• To serve, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 20 squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

SALTED-CARAMEL PRETZEL, ALMOND AND CACAO BARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a square, loose-bottom 20-cm (8-in) baking tray with parchment paper.
• First make the almond biscuit layer: blend all of the ingredients except the ground almonds in the blender until the nuts and coconut are finely chopped. Add the ground almonds then pulse until fully incorporated. The mixture should be sticky.
• Press the almond mixture into the base of the baking tray, making sure it's an even layer all over.
• Pop the tray into the freezer and get on with the caramel layer.
• Rinse out the blender. Blend all of the ingredients in the blender until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
• Remove the tray from the freezer and spread the caramel layer over the top evenly. Pop the tray back into the freezer to set for around 2 hours.
• After the 2 hours, remove the tray from the freezer and place the toppings on.
• Carefully remove the bars from the tin, then cut it into 12-14 bars. Run your knife under hot water between each cut to make it easier.
• Place the bars onto a baking tray and back into the freezer while you make the coating.
• Mix the chocolate coating ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
• Remove the bars from the freezer and drizzle the coating over the top of each bar. Top each bar with a couple of pretzels or a sprinkling of flaked almonds. Serve straight away or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Serve straight from the freezer.
• Enjoy!
