Ingredients
10 cups mini pretzels
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F and lightly grease a large roasting pan or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Spread the mini pretzels evenly in the prepared pan.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
4. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until combined.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until smooth and glossy.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly.
7. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the pretzels.
8. Stir well until the pretzels are evenly coated.
9. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes so the coating bakes evenly.
10. Remove from the oven and spread the pretzels out if needed.
11. Let them cool completely until crisp.
12. Break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Do not let the sugar mixture cook too long before pouring it over the pretzels, or the toffee can become too thick and harder to coat evenly.
