Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 225g cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup melted milk or dark chocolate
  • Extra crushed pretzels for coating
  • Sea salt flakes for topping optional

Instructions
 

Crush the Pretzels

  • Place pretzels in a food processor or zip bag. Crush until fine crumbs form. Set aside in a bowl.

Mix Cream Cheese

  • In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Remove all lumps for a soft texture.

Add Sugar and Vanilla

  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.

Add Caramel Sauce

  • Pour in salted caramel sauce. Mix gently until fully blended and evenly colored.

Add Crumbs

  • Add crushed pretzels and graham crackers. Mix until a thick dough-like mixture forms.

Chill the Mixture

  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up for shaping.

Shape the Balls

  • Scoop small portions and roll into balls using your hands. Place them on parchment paper.

Chill Again

  • Place the tray in the fridge for 20 minutes. This helps the balls keep their shape.

Dip in Chocolate

  • Dip each ball into melted chocolate. Coat evenly and place back on parchment paper.

Add Topping

  • Sprinkle crushed pretzels and a few sea salt flakes on top before chocolate sets.

Final Chill

  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes until chocolate is fully set and firm.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy these sweet and salty cheesecake balls.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing.
  • Chill hands with cold water before rolling for easy shaping.
  • Use white chocolate for a sweeter coating.
  • Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • Drizzle extra caramel on top for decoration.
