My friend Alison is hosting her annual cookie exchange in a few weeks. Last year, there was a coconut crise in my kitchen just hours before the tea party, with every snowball burnt to a blackened mess. I still went, with delicious butter biscuits in a charming tin in hand, but I was embarrassed to be the only guest with a shop-bought offering. This year, I am determined to bring something made-from-scratch and delicious. These pretzel caramel bars look easy enough, even for me.
