My sister-in-law Donna emailed me last week telling me to try out her new pretzel snack. She melted caramels, dipped one side of a soft pretzel in it and then dipped the caramel side into a plate of mini chocolate chips, craisens, and nuts. Sounded great to me, but I did not have any caramels in the house to melt so I cheated using these...
I also went for the chocolate-coconut-caramel combination in place of the fruit and nuts. Here is what I did...
On a well greased foil-lined pan, I topped each frozen soft pretzel with one sheet of Caramel Apple Wraps (found at my local grocery store) and then sprinkled them with with a generous amount of sweetened, shredded coconut. I baked these in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Once out of the oven I drizzled them with melted chocolate.
Wonderful, warm, gooey. I loved this treat and enjoyed having to lick my sticky, chocolately fingers. And for the caramel and coconut that melted down in the holes of the pretzel, I mopped it all up with the pretzel of course. We preferred these without the salt. Although salt and caramel are a great combination, it was too rich for this dessert.
You will want to eat these within a couple of hours of making, because like all soft pretzels they will get chewier with age.

OK! That is crazy good. When I am at the store this morning I will also be picking up the ingredients for these.
You have GOT to be kidding me! Who thinks of this stuff and why didn't I come up with it first? LOL. Yes, I am going to have to make these and in the very near future. I want salt on mine though.

I agree with EAT! Crazy good and EASY! These are going on my "To Make" list right now!
holy cow, those look amazing! i am off to the store right now for frozen pretzels... :)
Holy. Easy. Yummo!!!! These look amazing!! I have to add these to my list too! Thanks for sharing. :-)
and... I have to agree too!!! Crazy GOOOOD!!
chocolate, caramel, and coconut trump fruit and nuts any minute of any hour of any day. gorgeous, luscious, scrumptious treat!
you know someone once called me an evil genius. I have to pass that on to you now. crazy good!!!
I have to say - you can't really go wrong with pretzels in any form - sweet or savory. These look delicious.
hahah wow that looks amazing!
What a great idea! Looks delicious!!
My kids would love this! Yum :)
How creative! Love this idea!
Oh my goodness, I want one! Sweet and salty goodness.
Oh, my! I am in heaven just thinking about this:)
Oh my, that is the most decadent thing I've ever seen. My son would die over this if I made it for him.
Great creativity with ingredients!
Wow! That is some kind of treat! Kudos to Donna!
In place of a child's birthday cake, I think this would be a wonderful treat. Maybe having each child make his own pretzel with a number of options to put on it. Or if you can find a very large pretzel that will feed a crowd would also be nice for a birthday party or a teen age get together. Ma
Oh, boy...those look very decadent but gooood.

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! I can't wait to try this for the holidays. Caramels will be on sale this weekend. I have pretzel rods and dark chocolate in my pantry and coconut in my desk. I can't wait. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
Holy yum - Somoas are my step-sons favorite girl scout cookie - he's coming over for football on Sunday - definitely plan to make these - thanks RobinSue!
Those look absolutely naughty. I will tell you right now my jeans are going to be hating you for sharing this. Because I will have to try several pretzels before I find just the right one. That is if I can narrow it down to one.
OH MY...a very decadent snack and so pretty too!
How are these the next day? Do they store well or do they have to be eaten hot or within a few hours of making?
Anon- You will want to eat these within a few hours of making. I left one in a sealed container overnight to see how it would be the next day and the pretzel was chewy. Thanks for bringing this up.
Fun idea! I've never seen the caramel wraps but then I've never looked for them either. They seem like fun.
Whoa, this looks much better than it's title. I bow to the Samoas.

This is one amazingly decadent and worthy of my calories- kind-a treat!
Wow!
Awesome! Samoas are my son's favorite Girl Scout cookie. He will be so happy when I make these. Thanks for the recipe.

How good does this sound? Holy moly I will have to bookmark this and try it out. Caramel-one of my favorite things in life.
Wow! This is definitely pretzels kicked up a notch! I will have to keep an eye out for those caramel apple wrappers :o)
All I can say is WOW!
