A pain to make, but worth it! The whole "spooning" sticky pretzels is not the best idea! I plopped the whole batch on to the pan then kept running my hands under cold water and molding the treats myself. MUCH easier! Clean up looks hard, but I just melted the mess away with hot water first.

I love this recipe! I found it easier to spoon pretzel mixture if you keep it warm in the pan so it doesn't start to set. Plus, keep the caramels warm too, makes for easier cleanup. My 3 year old approves!

This is quick, easy and a huge hit! I made a batch for a family gathering and had to make another batch to keep up with everyone! Definitely spray your hands with cooking spray before attempting to touch the pretzels and marshmellow mixture because it is extremely sticky and difficult to work with. I could also see these being great with a chocolate/peanut butter mixture for the topping.

This is very yummy! It is best when still warm. I would definetly recommend anyone to try!

Easy to make until you have to drop spoonfuls onto your greased cookie sheet. One big sticky mess! I found it to be a bit easier if you spray a little of the cooking spray onto your fingers that way when you go to drop your spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet everything's not sticking to your fingers.

Way too hard... these are not crunchy in a good way. I don't know if it's the caramel or what, but they are rock hard and not enjoyable. I will probably throw them out. Disappointing!
