As the holiday season unfolds, the sweet and salty aroma of freshly baked treats fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. These Caramel Pretzels, also known as Butter Toffee Pretzels, are a delightful indulgence that perfectly combines crunchy pretzels with rich toffee caramel. They make for a wonderful snack to enjoy during festive gatherings, or a sweet treat to share with friends and family while you cozy up together.

Ingredients

    • 4 cups miniature pretzels

    • 1 cup unsalted butter

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 2 tablespoons water

    • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack over the pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

    1. Make the Toffee: In a medium heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, sugar, water, and salt. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 305°F on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

    1. Coat the Pretzels: Quickly pour the pretzels into the toffee mixture and stir to coat evenly. Using a toothpick or fork, transfer the pretzels to the prepared cooling rack or baking sheet, ensuring they are laid out side by side without touching.

    1. Bake: Bake at 200°F for 20-30 minutes to dry out the pretzels and prevent stickiness. Transfer the pretzels to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    1. Cool and Store: Once cooled, allow the toffee pretzels to sit uncovered on the counter overnight. Store the pretzels in an airtight jar or bowl. They will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
