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:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Combine the unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and light corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved.
- 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.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee over the mini salted pretzels in a large bowl or directly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Fold the pretzels gently but thoroughly with a heat-resistant spatula until every piece is evenly coated in the syrup.
- Spread the coated pretzels onto the parchment-lined sheet and use two forks to separate any clusters.
- Allow the treats to cool and harden at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Break apart any remaining pieces into individual bite-sized snacks.
