Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (80ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 6 cups (350g) mini salted pretzels

Instructions:

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Combine the unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and light corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring too vigorously until the mixture looks glossy and smells like toasted caramel.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  6. Immediately pour the hot toffee over the mini salted pretzels in a large bowl or directly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Fold the pretzels gently but thoroughly with a heat-resistant spatula until every piece is evenly coated in the syrup.
  8. Spread the coated pretzels onto the parchment-lined sheet and use two forks to separate any clusters.
  9. Allow the treats to cool and harden at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  10. Break apart any remaining pieces into individual bite-sized snacks.
