If you are a fan of the sweet and salty combination, I hope you’ve realized that it isn’t just for desserts!

The combination is perfect in snacks, too! These granola bars have just that combination with chocolate, caramel, and pretzels.

These three ingredients combine to make a granola bar that tastes as good as a dessert but that is healthy enough for a snack!

While it’s easy to go to the store and buy a box of granola bars, it is easier to make these! They take about 5 minutes total to whip together.

If you don’t have the patience to let them set up in the refrigerator, you could just eat them right away!

No waiting at stoplights, no finding the shortest grocery line to wait in, and best of all, no unknown ingredients!

Oats, flaxseed, and oat bran give these granola bars a nutritional boost, and honey ties everything together. 

The pretzels give these chewy granola bars a nice crunch when you bite into the chocolate and caramel.

The next time you are wanting something sweet and salty, but you know you shouldn’t have another helping of dessert, quick mix together a batch of these chocolate caramel pretzel granola bars.

Your cravings will be satisfied, and you’ll be satisfied knowing that you are snacking on a healthier alternative!
