Ale and pretzel soft caramels

As soon as I have a chance, I’m making these!

So, were you snacking on them today?

I wish…a guy in the club emailed me the recipe.

Those look amazing.  Three of my favorite things combined!

Instead of boiling down a beer, why not use malt extract to save time?

Certainly could make “malt caramel”.  The recipe looks like one for non-brewers though, and given the somewhat hoppy pale ales, I’d be interested in how maybe some scant hop aromas make it through.
