Make these sweet, salty, and crunchy butter toffee pretzels. They coat crunchy pretzels in a rich toffee glaze and bake them until golden, creating an addictive snack perfect for parties or gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pretzels (about 8 cups of mini twists)
  • 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. Spread the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar.
  4. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Continue stirring until the mixture gently boils.
  5. Once boiling, stir for exactly one minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Immediately pour the toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels on the baking sheet. Use a spatula to gently toss the pretzels until they are well coated.
  7. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the toffee mixture is bubbly.
  8. Remove the sheet from the oven. If you are using optional toppings, sprinkle the chocolate chips or toffee bits over the hot pretzels. Let them sit for 5 minutes until the chocolate softens slightly.
  9. Spread the pretzels out again to cool completely. Once cool, break them apart. Store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, consider adding cinnamon to the sugar mixture before boiling.
  • If you skip the chocolate chips, you can add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to complicated meal planning when you need a quick treat.
