Ingredients

  • 4 cups miniature pretzels
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 200°F and cover a baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack over the pan, and spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

  • In a medium heavy saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, water and salt over MED-LOW heat. Stir often with a wooden spoon.

  • Bring the mixture to a boil and turn the heat down to MED-LOW. Bring the mixture to 305°F, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

  • Working quickly, pour the pretzels into the toffee mixture and stir. Transfer the pretzels, a few at a time (with a toothpick or fork) to the prepared cooling rack/baking tray, laying them side-by-side without touching.

  • Bake at 200°F for 20-30 minutes to dry out the pretzels and to ensure they won’t be sticky. Transfer the pretzels to a cooling rack to completely cool.

  • Once the toffee pretzels have cooled. Allow the pretzels to sit uncovered, overnight, on the counter. Keep in an airtight jar or bowl.

  • The pretzels will stay fresh up to 3 weeks.
