2. Unwrap caramels and melt them with cream or water in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
3. Spoon melted caramel onto each pretzel and top with another pretzel to form a sandwich.
4. Place the tray in the fridge or freezer for 10–15 minutes until set.
5. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
6. Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway (or fully) into melted chocolate.
