White Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites with Roasted Almonds

White Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites with Roasted Almonds

What You Have :

 

    11 oz bag Kraft caramel bits
    3 tbsp heavy cream
    10 oz can roasted almonds, pieces
    12 oz package white chocolate chips
    1 tbsp shortening
    40 pretzel rounds
    Cookie decorations
 

Directions

    Unwrap caramels and put in a microwave safe bowl with the cream. Heat in 30 second intervals and stir. This step took me about 3 minutes total.
    Put almonds in a ziplock bag and use a mallet to break into pieces. Once caramel is done, add almonds and fold into the caramel.
    In a double broiler, heat white chocolate & shortening. Stir until smooth.
    On parchment paper, line up pretzel rounds. Add a spoonful of the caramel nut mixture to each pretzel. Let it cool.
    Top with white chocolate and cookie decorations. Put in freezer for 10 minutes. Store in an air tight container.
