In a medium bowl, mix pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish to create a solid base.

Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the pressed pretzel crust, ensuring every bite will be sweet. Then, sprinkle sea salt on top to enhance the flavor contrast between sweet and salty.

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form for a fluffy texture.

Gently spread the whipped cream mixture over the caramel layer, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the bars are firm and set.

Once chilled, take a sharp knife and cut into squares. Enjoy each delightful bite of your Quick No-Bake Salted Caramel Pretzel Bars!
