SALTED CARAMEL PRETZEL BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss to coat. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, follow the package directions for microwaving and salting the pretzels (don't use all the salt). Quarter each pretzel.
• Whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, whole eggs and yolks in a medium bowl.
• Scatter the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Top with the pretzel pieces (turning some over to show off the nicely browned bottoms) and then nestle in the caramel candy halves. Pour the custard over the mixture. Cover with foil and set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Bake until the bread pudding is set with a slight jiggle in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, combine the caramels, butter and cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring halfway through, until the caramels and butter melt together, about 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth and thick. (The caramel sauce can be made ahead of time and then reheated to loosen up for serving.)
• Drizzle the bread pudding with the caramel sauce and sprinkle with some pretzel salt before serving.

SALTED CARAMEL AND PRETZEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Toss 1/4 cup whole or broken pretzels in a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into coarse crumbs.
• In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, honey, vanilla, and salt. Add it to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour and coarse pretzel crumbs, and beat just until combined.
• Dump the remaining broken pretzels in the resealable plastic bag and coarsely crush with the rolling pin. Spread the pretzel crumbs on a plate or rimmed baking sheet.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of dough on the pretzel crumbs and roll the dough into balls, pressing so the pretzels adhere. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

(These are best devoured the day they're baked, as it's a little tricky to keep the leftovers without the pretzels going soggy and the gooey stuff sticking to whatever you cover the cookies with, although honestly, somehow we don't think leftovers will be an issue.)
