Pretzel Toffee
Description
Pretzel Toffee starts by layering pretzels on parchment paper, then pouring a cooked mixture of melted butter and brown sugar over them. This mixture is cooked until it reaches a light brown color to develop the toffee base. The coated pretzels bake for 10 minutes to set the toffee layer. Then, chocolate chips (milk or dark) and white chocolate chips are sprinkled on top, allowed to melt, and spread evenly to cover the toffee. After cooling at room temperature and refrigerating until hardened, the toffee is broken into pieces. The combination of crunchy pretzels and rich toffee with smooth chocolate creates a decadent treat that balances sweet and salty flavors. The recipe includes tips to avoid grainy toffee by gentle stirring and careful cooking and recommends storage in an airtight container with parchment layers in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips milk, or dark chocolate
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups pretzels
- 1-2 cups Toffee bits optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Add parchment paper to a cookie sheet. Spread the pretzels in a single layer over the parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter and brown sugar in a pot. Cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until a tan-ish brown color.
- Pour toffee mixture over pretzels making sure to cover all the pretzels. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over half of the pan and the white chocolate chips over the other half. Let chips melt for a few minutes and spread with a spatula to cover the toffee layer. Sprinkle with any desired toppings.
- Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Stir the butter and sugar gently in the first few minutes to dissolve sugar fully and avoid grainy toffee.
- Do not stir while the mixture simmers to allow proper caramelization.
- Store Pretzel Toffee in an airtight container separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 1-2 weeks for best freshness.
