Make these sweet and salty butter toffee pretzels. They are crunchy, addictive, and perfect as a quick snack or homemade gift.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pretzels (mini twists or rods)
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or toffee bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Continue to boil the mixture for exactly one minute while stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Spread the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels, ensuring they are well coated.
  7. If using, sprinkle the chocolate chips or toffee bits over the warm coating immediately.
  8. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely on the baking sheet until the toffee hardens. Break apart any large clusters before serving.

Notes

  • For a crunchier coating, use salted butter in the toffee mixture.
  • If you skip the optional topping, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the toffee mixture before pouring.
  • Cooling time is essential for the toffee to set properly. Do not rush this step.
