Pretzels have always been a great snack with a glass of beer. So why not use this pairing as a candy filling? Pretzels are made from butter, dark brown sugar, light corn syrup, and heavy cream, flavored with reduced brown ale. Its rich flavor and the addition of saltine crackers at the very end perfectly complement the sweet caramel. Allow the mixture to set in the mold, then cut into small squares. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the desired consistency.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 230°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer, 10-12 minutes.
