Butter Toffee Pretzels are the perfect sweet and salty snack, made by coating crunchy pretzels in a rich, buttery toffee and finishing with a sprinkle of toffee bits. They’re easy to make, great for gifting, and totally addictive.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces mini pretzel twists
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 5 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 ounces Heath English toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Spread mini pretzels evenly across the pan and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will foam).
  5. Quickly pour toffee mixture over the pretzels and gently toss to coat as evenly as possible.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle toffee bits over the hot pretzels.
  8. Let cool completely, then break apart and serve or store.

Notes

  • Use pretzel rods for variety or easier dipping.
  • Chopped nuts like pecans or almonds add crunch and flavor.
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate once cooled for an extra treat.
  • Stirring during baking is key to even coating and preventing burning.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for best texture.
