📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or a silpat.
2
In a microwave safe bowl add 8 ounces of the chopped chocolate. Melt the chocolate on ⏱️ 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. It took me about one minute and ⏱️ 30 seconds.
3
Dollop about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate in a small circle (about the size of an Oreo) onto the prepared wax paper lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have made 20 or so dollops of chocolate.
4
Now take your pretzels and press one pretzel into each of the melted chocolate circles. This should push the chocolate circle out to about the size of a small-medium cookie. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes (or the fridge for ⏱️ 20 minutes).

5
While the chocolate hardens add the unwrapped caramels and the heavy cream or coconut milk to a microwave safe bowl. Melt the caramels the same way you melted the chocolate. Melt on ⏱️ 30 seconds intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. It took me about one minute and ⏱️ 30 seconds. Set aside and let cool at least ⏱️ 5 minutes before adding to the cookies.
6
Remove the chocolate covered pretzels from the freezer and spread about 2 teaspoons or so of the nutella (just eyeball it!) onto each pretzel and then press 2 toasted pecans into the center of the nutella. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Next spoon a little of the caramel over top of each cookie, covering most of the pecans.

7
Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave and drizzle each cookie. Sprinkle each cookie with the flaked sea salt and place the pan back in the freezer for ⏱️ 10 minutes (or in the fridge for ⏱️ 20 minutes). Serve cold or at room temperature. If your house is warm I recommend storing these in the fridge so the chocolate does not melt.
