Ingredients for Triple Chocolate Pecan Praline Pretzel Squares
- Pretzels: I used Snyder’s of Hanover square Snap Pretzels.
- Pecan Pieces: I like to toast them because it enhances the flavor.
- Praline Caramel: I used unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Triple Chocolate: I used Ghirardelli milk, white, and dark chocolate melting wafers.
Step-by-step instructions for making these sweet treats
- First, I lined a large 10×15-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. I secured the parchment on the corners with stainless steel oven-proof clips. Then, I laid out 126 square pretzel snaps in a single layer.
- Next, I sprinkled 2 cups of toasted pecan pieces on top of the pretzels and set aside.
- In a small heavy saucepan, I combined the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. I heated it over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Once melted, I used a whisk to ensure everything was well incorporated.
- Once it began to boil, I stirred the mixture constantly for three minutes.
- Then, I carefully poured the Praline caramel over the pecans and pretzels, distributing it as evenly as possible. I then transferred it to a 375ยฐ oven for 10 minutes.
- I carefully removed it from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack.
- I placed four ounces of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Melting wafers in a piping bag and set it in a microwave-proof glass. I microwaved it for 30-second intervals until it was completely melted. I snipped the tip of the bag and pipped the chocolate horizontally across the pecan praline pretzels.
- I repeated the melting process for the four ounces of Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting wafers. I snipped the tip of the bag and pipped the white chocolate vertically (in a different direction) across the milk chocolate.
- I repeated the melting process again for the four ounces of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting wafers. I snipped the tip of the bag and pipped the dark chocolate diagonally (in another direction) across the white chocolate.
- I allowed it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerated it for about an hour or until the chocolate was hard. Then carefully lifted the parchment from the pan and set it on a flat surface. I then broke it back into individual pretzel squares.
If you are looking for a dessert that is sure to impress, then Triple Chocolate Pecan Praline Pretzel Squares are the perfect choice. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Don’t use standard chocolate chips, they will not harden properly.
- I specifically used 126 pretzel squares because that number made a perfect layer of nine pretzels across and 14 pretzels down.
- You don’t want to try adjusting or redistributing the pecans once sprinkled because you’ll mess up the pretzels.
- Be sure not to touch the praline caramel after it comes out of the oven because it will be extremely hot.
