Butter Toffee Pretzels are a sweet-and-salty snack with crunchy pretzels coated in buttery caramel toffee. They’re easy to make and perfect for parties or gifts. 🥨🍯
Ingredients
- 8 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Optional: 1 cup chopped pecans or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare pretzels
Place the pretzels (and nuts if using) in a large mixing bowl. - Make the toffee sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat:- Melt the butter.
- Stir in the brown sugar.
- Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add vanilla and baking soda
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly. - Coat the pretzels
Pour the hot toffee mixture over the pretzels and toss well to coat. - Bake
Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. - Cool
Let the pretzels cool completely—they’ll become crispy as the toffee hardens.
