Make these addictive butter toffee pretzels for a perfect sweet and salty crunch. This simple, oven-baked recipe coats crunchy pretzels in a rich brown sugar glaze, ready fast for parties or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) small pretzel twists or rods
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared sheets.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for exactly one minute without stirring.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
  4. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels on the baking sheets. Use a spatula to gently toss the pretzels until they are fully coated.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
  6. Remove from the oven. Let the pretzels cool completely on the baking sheets. They will harden and become crunchy as they cool. Break apart any large clusters before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the cooled pretzels.
  • If you want a stronger salty element, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the pretzels immediately after removing them from the oven.
  • Store these addictive snack recipes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
