• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4-6
• Skill Level: Easy

• 2 cups mini pretzels
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate-covered raisins

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mini pretzels evenly.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and begins to turn a golden amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once the caramel reaches the desired color, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
4. Return the saucepan to the heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until the caramel is smooth and well-combined. Add sea salt and mix thoroughly.
5. Drizzle the hot salted caramel over the pretzels, ensuring they are well-coated.
6. Sprinkle the dark chocolate-covered raisins over the caramel-drenched pretzels while the caramel is still warm.
7. Allow the mixture to cool completely, letting the caramel harden and the raisins to set in place.
8. Break into clusters and serve in a sleek black bowl to match your chic movie night setting.

• If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought caramel sauce. Warm it slightly and drizzle over the pretzels.
• For a nutty twist, add a handful of roasted almonds or pecans along with the chocolate-covered raisins.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

This delightful treat pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or a chilled glass of milk. For an added touch of sophistication, serve with a side of fresh strawberries or a drizzle of dark chocolate.
