Notes

These bars can be served on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an even more festive touch, drizzle extra caramel sauce or chocolate over the top before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Make sure to crush the pretzels finely and customize the bars with nuts or other toppings.
