Pretzel Millionaire Bites Recipe

foodnerd4life

These bites aren’t for the faint-hearted. Pretzel Millionaire Bites is one killer recipe, a thick base with pretzel and digestive biscuit crumbs to make a buttery base, a rich treacly caramel middle, topped with a dark chocolate layer and decorated with even more salty pretzels.

Each stage and layer looks way more complex than they are, and will completely wow any tasters you bring these bites to. They are a sturdy bake with their thick biscuit base and caramel, and chocolate layers making it the perfect bake to make the day before and transfer without fear of collapsing or damage on a journey to a picnic, BBQ or bake sale to portion up when the time comes in 25 mini (but still substantial) bites.

I’ve used a mix of salted plain pretzels and digestive biscuits for the base to give a good mix of body to the crumbs as well as a great savoury note which balances out the overall sweetness of the caramel and chocolate. To get an even base, I use the base of a glass to level out the buttery crumbs to work through the mound to get that nice flat base for the caramel layer.

The caramel is easy to make with only a few ingredients, you need to be patient and not thicken the mixture too much. When working with hot sugar, remember always to be extra careful.

  1. Line an 8″ square tin and put it to one side, in a mini processor, blitz the pretzels and digestive biscuits until a fine crumb.

Chill.
  2. Make the caramel next. Melt the butter, sugar and condensed milk in a large pan. Breaking up any sugar lumps, and once melted. bring to a rapid boil for a minute or until the mixture thickens. Keep stirring throughout. Take the pan off the heat, and pour the caramel over the cool brownie. Leave to cool at room temperature then transfer to the fridge for at least a couple of hours or overnight.
  3. Once the caramel has set, gently melt the dark chocolate and the butter, over a bain-marie. Pour over the top of the caramel, and quickly move the tin around to move the chocolate around to coat the caramel. Press the remaining pretzels into the surface and let the chocolate set before cutting into bites.
