Arrange the mini pretzels or crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Place one unwrapped caramel on top of each pretzel or cracker.
Warm the caramel-topped bases just until the caramels soften: either bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 3–4 minutes, or microwave a few at a time on a microwave-safe plate in 10–15 second bursts. The caramels should look slightly melty but not completely flattened.
Using the back of a spoon (or your fingers if they’re cool enough), gently press each softened caramel down so it adheres to the pretzel or cracker and forms a more even layer. Let them cool for about 10–15 minutes so the caramel firms up a bit.
