Ingredients
- 10 oz mini pretzels (about 5 cups)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (yes, real butter makes a difference)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or slivered almonds
- Optional: Melted dark or white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
Go ahead and crank your oven up to 350°F. While it’s heating, line a big ol’ baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss your pretzels into a large bowl and let them hang out while we get the good stuff ready. If you’re adding nuts, now’s the time to toast them for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
Melt your butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and water. Let the mixture bubble gently while stirring continuously for 3-5 minutes. It should look smooth and slightly thickened—kind of like caramel but without the stress.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the hot toffee sauce over your pretzels and (gently!) stir to coat evenly. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon—whatever’s less likely to crush those little pretzel beauties.
Spread the coated pretzels on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, then give them a stir. Bake for another 6-8 minutes until everything is golden, glossy, and smells insane.
Let the pretzels cool completely on the sheet—this is where the magic happens and the toffee hardens.
