Recipe for Butter Toffee Pretzels:
Ingredients:
1 bag (16 ounces) of small pretzels (any shape)
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups Heath Toffee Bits
Optional: A sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and spread the pretzels evenly.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in brown sugar. Let it boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes to a syrup consistency.
Off the heat, stir in vanilla extract, then evenly pour over the pretzels.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until the toffee bubbles and darkens slightly.
Remove from the oven and immediately add Heath Toffee Bits, pressing them into the toffee.
Optionally, sprinkle sea salt for an extra flavor layer.
Let the pretzels cool completely, allowing the toffee to harden.
