Butter Toffee Pretzels are a delightful sweet and salty snack combining crunchy pretzels coated in rich, buttery toffee, topped with melted semi-sweet chocolate and crunchy nuts. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you crave an indulgent bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Snack Base

  • 4 cups classic pretzel twists

Toffee Sauce

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped almonds or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pretzels and toffee mixture.
  2. Melt Butter and Sugar: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture bubbles and thickens into a rich toffee sauce.
  3. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the toffee.
  4. Coat Pretzels: Pour the warm toffee evenly over the pretzels arranged on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that all pretzels are well-coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the toffee is bubbly and golden brown, creating a crisp coating.
  6. Add Chocolate and Nuts: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee to let them melt slightly. Then, generously top with chopped almonds or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • For a nut-free version, omit nuts or substitute with seeds.
  • For even coating, gently toss pretzels in the toffee before spreading on the sheet if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
  • Serve once chocolate has set slightly but is still soft for the best texture.
