Layers of cookie dough, caramel, pretzels and chocolate make these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bars a huge hit! Tasty, easy and delicious.
Do you guys remember high school well? I’ve been reminiscing for the past few days about my high school years. That may be because I have my 10 year high school reunion this weekend. Oh my. Time has gone by so fast. In those last 10 year I’ve managed to get married, have 4 children and buy our first home. Might not sound like much but it feels like a lot.
Our lives are pretty quiet, I think back and see what some of my classmates have done with their lives and am so happy at what they have all be able to accomplish. Some I have stayed in contact with, some I haven’t seen or spoken to since high school. But I can say that I am excited and a little nervous to see them all again. Of course this girl is tasked with bringing the desserts! Obviously! I’m a sugar addict.
Can you believe that me being a dessert/baking addict is a new development? I honestly hated baking up until a few years ago. I was a seriously cook, but you couldn’t get me to bake to save my life. I think it played in part to that if you screw up a recipe while baking, its hard to save. While if you screw up a recipe while cooking it seems like there is an easy flavor fix. Who knows, but all I know is that I’m addicted to baking and sweets now.
I seen these bad boys over at Kraft and I knew from the moment I laid eyes on them that they were going to be in my stomach soon. Caramel, pretzels, sugar cookies and chocolate. This has all the components of a good time in one bite. Has the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy all in one. These are going to keep being on my dessert rotation that is for sure.

My sweet tooth is out of control tonight. I am glad I don’t have a pan of these in front of me, they wouldn’t make it through the night! My 15 year reunion is this year, I haven’t been able to make it to the others. I hope I can make it to this one!
