Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag (16 oz) mini pretzels The mini size yields more crunchy surfaces for toffee goodness.
  • ½ cup butter Unsalted is preferable for flavor control.
  • ½ cup brown sugar Light or dark works fine; it’ll offer a slightly different caramel profile.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your pretzels bake evenly and become delightfully crisp.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial for easy removal later.
  3. Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to boil.
  4. Remove from heat and pour the toffee sauce over the pretzels on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Toss to make sure every pretzel gets a generous coating of that toffee mixture.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Cool before serving, giving the toffee time to set and harden for that perfect crunch.

Notes

These pretzels can be presented in a decorative bowl or packaged in cellophane bags tied with twine for thoughtful homemade gifts. They pair well with a creamy dip or make great additions to movie night spreads. To keep them fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for up to three months.
