Description
Butter Toffee Pretzels are a crunchy sweet-and-salty snack made by coating mini pretzels in a rich buttery brown sugar toffee, then baking them until crisp and caramelized. They are easy to make, perfect for parties and gifting, and impossible to stop snacking on.
Ingredients
4 cups mini pretzels
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper. Spread the mini pretzels in an even layer.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until melted and smooth.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until glossy and slightly thickened.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly.
5. Pour the warm toffee over the pretzels and toss until they are evenly coated.
6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to coat the pretzels evenly and prevent clumping.
7. Remove from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely before breaking apart and serving.
Notes
Let the toffee boil long enough to thicken slightly so it coats the pretzels well.
Stir the pretzels during baking so the coating stays even and crisp.
Cool completely before storing so the pretzels do not become sticky.
