Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz mini pretzel twists sticks work too
  • 14 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.9 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda helps the coating get airy and crisp
  • 0.5 cup toffee bits
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Spread pretzels evenly on the prepared pan and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar.
  • Bring to a gentle bubble, stirring, and cook 3–4 minutes until glossy and smooth.
  • Remove from heat. Quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda until foamy.
  • Pour the toffee over pretzels. Toss with a spatula to coat as evenly as possible.
  • Bake 12 minutes, stirring once halfway to redistribute the coating.
  • Scatter toffee bits over the pan and bake 2–3 minutes more to set.
  • Cool completely on the pan. Break apart and finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

Variation: Drizzle cooled pretzels with melted dark chocolate or add a handful of chopped roasted nuts before baking. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.
