Ingredients
- 5 cups mini pretzels (or pretzel twists)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Make the Toffee Coating
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup.
- Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture boil for 3–4 minutes without stirring.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up—this is normal!
Step 3: Coat the Pretzels
- Place the pretzels in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the toffee mixture over the pretzels, stirring gently to coat them evenly.
Step 4: Bake the Pretzels
- Spread the coated pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely. The toffee will harden as they cool.
- Once cooled, break apart any large clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Tips for Success
- Even Coating: Work quickly when pouring the toffee over the pretzels to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Variations: Add chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
