  1. Don’t Overcook the Caramel: Keep an eye on it! Overcooking can result in a burnt or bitter flavor.
  2. Work Quickly: Pour and spread the caramel fast to avoid it setting before covering the pretzels.
  3. Customize It: Add toppings like chopped nuts, white chocolate drizzle, or crushed toffee pieces for an extra twist!
  4. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature or in the fridge.
