Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 cups mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
- Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
- Boil Toffee Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling, cook without stirring for 3 minutes to develop the toffee’s texture.
- Add Vanilla and Baking Soda: Remove the saucepan from heat, then carefully stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up; stir until smooth.
- Coat Pretzels: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the pretzels and gently toss to coat as evenly as possible.
- Bake and Stir: Bake the coated pretzels in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure an even coating throughout.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely. Break apart any clusters and store your butter toffee pretzels in an airtight container.
Notes
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled pretzels for an extra treat.
- Perfect for gifting or party snacks!
