Congrats to Carolsue for winning my Barilla Giveaway.
This is the type of dessert that makes my heart sing.
Considering my husband just polished off a box of Klondike Caramel Pretzel bars… I think these would go over well.
Wow, that’s just ridiculously amazing! Pretzels and caramel? I’m going to be dreaming about these all day!
I feel like I just gained 10 lbs. by looking at these on my screen. Holy moly, girl! What are you trying to do to me? 🙂
Oh la la! Looks fabulous!
Um…. Drool!
Oh my this looks fantastic. No words because I happen to be human!
Oh man. I’m on the 17 day diet (day 2) and I’m craving your bars!
Unreal! I am in total love.
I need some, maybe just a slice or even a half slice , seriously throw a piece in a napkin and fire a stamp on it..send it to Cali!!
Oh. My. I don’t think that NOT making these is an option. I’m headed to the Y for a swim, so I feel less guilty about eating them all… 😉
these look crazy good and we must be on the same wavelength! my next post or sometime next week (it’s in my drafts, haven’t decided the date yet) involves pretzels, caramel, and a pan of bars. I love all the drizzle and caramel you used — drooling!
OMG these almost look too good to be true!! I can just about taste them right now. Can you deliver?? 🙂
i’m speechless. these look INCREDIBLE!
I would completely lack self control if faced with a pan of these…I love the sweet and salty combination!
