Description
A delightful mix of salty and sweet, these Butter Toffee Pretzels are a crunch snack coated in toffee and topped with English toffee bits, perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, sliced into pats
- 5 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces Heath English toffee bits, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the mini pretzel twists evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until boiling.
- Let the mixture boil without stirring for 4-5 minutes until thickened and caramel-colored. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda; the mixture will bubble up.
- Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels and gently spread.
- Bake for 5 minutes to help the toffee set.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle half of the toffee bits over the pretzels. Let soften for 2-3 minutes, then gently spread.
- Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits on top and allow the pretzels to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Break into clusters and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Do not stir the toffee mixture once it starts boiling to maintain texture. Can substitute larger pretzels for more crunch.
