Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Chocolate for coating
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the crushed pretzels carefully, ensuring an even distribution.
- Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the balls, letting it cascade between them.
- Sprinkle sea salt over the caramel-coated cheesecake balls for that perfect contrast.

Notes
For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. Feel free to get creative with flavor variations by adding nuts or using different chocolate types for coating.
