  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  6. Step 6: While the balls are freezing, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  8. Step 8: Roll the chocolate-coated balls in extra crushed pretzels for added crunch.
  9. Step 9: Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
