Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups pretzel twists (or pretzel shapes of your choice)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
- Chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds, optional for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Prepare the Toffee
- Melt Butter and Sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Add Vanilla and Salt: Once boiling, let it cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 3: Coat the Pretzels
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the pretzel twists in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Pour Toffee Over Pretzels: Drizzle the toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels, making sure to cover them as much as possible.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake Pretzels: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and the pretzels are golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. The toffee will harden as it cools.
Step 5: Optional Chocolate Drizzle
- Melt Chocolate: If using chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Once the pretzels are cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added crunch.
Step 6: Break Apart and Serve
- Break Apart: Once the chocolate has set, break apart the pretzels and store them in an airtight container.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your delicious Butter Toffee Pretzels!
