Salted Caramel Pretzel Bars — Are you like me?   Do you love those sweets that are a little on the salty side?  Sweet & Salty treats are among my most favorite.  Think … what’s your favorite candy bar?  Does it have a little of both?  The best of both worlds you might say?  If it does — we have that in common!  Well, today’s latest recipe falls into that category.  BUT first I have to tell you a little about what’s in store for you this week!

Today is one of my favorite days of the year, because it is the official start of #Choctoberfest. This is the third annual food blogger celebration of all things chocolate, made possible thanks to our gold sponsor Imperial Sugar and the other sponsors listed below.
