Throwback Thursday-Caramel Walnut Bars

Welcome to Throwback Thursday where each week I bring back blast from the past posts! I love sharing my favorite recipes, life lessons and more. As I look back on these throwbacks I am reminded of some really great food, good times, and a glimpse into how much I have grown as a person and a blogger! 
The sweet, buttery taste of caramel meets the salty crunch of a pretzel and earthy bite of a walnut in this finger licking good caramel walnut bar! My Mom and I were out to lunch and out of her pocket she pulls out a recipe and says, “these look good, could you change the recipe and make it better?” After one failed attempt I tweaked a few things and came up with this 6 ingredient candy sweetness!

Caramel Walnut Bars

Ingredients
  • 2 cups pretzels, crushed
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 11 ounce bag caramels-I use Kraft brand
  • 1 or 2 Tablespoons milk-start out with one and add the second if caramels are still not creamy
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Cooking Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F
  2. Line an 8×8 square pan with tinfoil or parchment paper, and allow it to come over the sides.
  3. Place pretzels in a ziploc bag and crush into crumbs.
  4. In a bowl mix crushed pretzels, butter, sugar and egg white.
  5. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom of the pan .
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. While crust is baking, unwrap caramels and combine with milk in a microwave safe bowl or on the stove top. Stir until caramels are completely melted.
  8. Remove crust from oven and pour caramel mixture over top the crust.
  9. Sprinkle the walnuts on top.
  10. Place in refrigerator for at least one hour
  11. Enjoy :-)
  12. **If you have leftovers I recommend placing in fridge so that caramel can stay hardened**
