Yield: 4-1/2 dozen.

I brought these savory-sweet pretzels to a family gathering, and they disappeared from the dessert tray before dessert was even served! My family raves about how awesome they are. —Carrie Bennett, Madison, Wisconsin

Ingredients:
• 1 package (10 ounces) pretzel rods
• 1 package (14 ounces) caramels
• 1 tablespoon evaporated milk
• 1-1/4 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butterscotch chips
• 2/3 cup milk chocolate toffee bits
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions:
1. With a sharp knife, cut pretzel rods in half; set aside. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt caramels with milk. In a large shallow bowl, combine the chips, toffee bits and walnuts.

2. Pour caramel mixture into a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Dip the cut end of each pretzel piece two-thirds of the way into caramel mixture (reheat in microwave if mixture becomes too thick for dipping). Allow excess caramel to drip off, then roll pretzels in the chip mixture. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container.
