Sweet, salty, and perfectly chewy — the ultimate easy holiday treat!
If you love the combination of gooey caramel, creamy chocolate, and crunchy pretzels, you’re going to fall in love with these Caramel Pretzel Marshmallow Pops. They’re everything you want in a treat — rich, sweet, salty, and completely irresistible!
These no-bake pops are made by dipping fluffy marshmallows in warm caramel, coating them in chocolate, and then rolling them in crushed pretzels for that perfect crunch. The result is a bite-sized dessert that’s fun to make, easy to serve, and looks like it came straight from a candy shop.
Whether you’re making them for a holiday party, movie night, or as edible gifts, these pops are guaranteed to be a hit with everyone.
Ingredients
- Large marshmallows
- 1 bag soft caramels (like Kraft), unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
- Crushed pretzels
- Large sucker sticks or paper straws
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Insert a sucker stick into each marshmallow to make your pops.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each marshmallow into the melted caramel, allowing the excess to drip off. Place on the parchment paper and let the caramel set for a few minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a separate bowl, again stirring until smooth.
- Dip each caramel-coated marshmallow into the chocolate, coating it completely.
- While the chocolate is still warm, roll or sprinkle with crushed pretzels for that salty crunch.
- Place on the parchment paper and let them set completely — either at room temperature or in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Jennie’s Notes
These Caramel Pretzel Marshmallow Pops are such a crowd-pleaser — the perfect mix of textures and flavors! I love using Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers for a smooth, glossy finish, but dark chocolate works beautifully too if you want a richer flavor.
They make adorable gift treats when wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with festive ribbon, or you can display them in a mug filled with sugar for a fun dessert table centerpiece.
For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle a little extra caramel on top after the pretzel coating sets — it makes them look bakery-perfect!
Storage & Serving
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. If making ahead for a party, keep them chilled until serving for best results.
These Caramel Pretzel Marshmallow Pops are a little bit of everything — soft, chewy, sweet, salty, and absolutely delicious. They’re easy to make, stunning to serve, and the perfect no-bake treat for holidays, parties, or just a cozy night at home. One bite, and you’ll see why everyone loves them!
