Satisfy your sweet tooth with this recipe that pairs gooey chocolate with salty, crunchy pretzels.

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 ounces)

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • teaspoon fine salt

  • 2 ½ cups roughly chopped miniature pretzels

Directions

  1. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.

  2. Place butter, chocolate chips, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate just melts and mixture is combined and warm but not hot, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups pretzels. Transfer mixture to pan and smooth top; press 1/2 cup pretzels on top. Refrigerate until set, 2 hours (or up to overnight, wrapped). Using parchment, lift fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares.
