Butter Toffee Pretzels

recip


1. Prep & Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Arrange pretzels in a single layer.

2. Make the Toffee Glaze

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup; bring to a gentle boil.
  • Boil 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy.
  • Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

3. Coat the Pretzels

  • Working quickly, dip each pretzel halfway into warm toffee.
  • Place back on baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.

4. Bake to Set

  • Bake 8–10 minutes until toffee is bubbly and set.
  • Cool completely on sheets—toffee hardens as it cools.
