Ingredients
- 16 ounces mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup salted butter, sliced into pats
- 5 tablespoons light corn syrup
Instructions
1- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2- Place the mini pretzels on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil and becomes bubbly.
4- Pour the hot toffee mixture over the pretzels, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
5- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the coating smooth and consistent.
6- Remove from the oven and allow the pretzels to cool completely before breaking into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your saucepan is medium-sized and heavy-bottomed to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Stirring is key: constantly mixing as it boils will prevent the toffee from clumping or burning.
- Allow the pretzels to cool completely before breaking; the toffee hardens as it cools, giving you clean, crunchy pieces.
