Step 3: Coat the Pretzels
- Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels.
- Using a spatula, gently toss the pretzels until each piece is fully coated.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts over the pretzels while the toffee is still warm for extra crunch.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the baking sheet with coated pretzels in the oven for 5–7 minutes. This helps the toffee harden slightly and stick to the pretzels.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature. They will harden as they cool.
Step 5: Add a Final Touch
Once the pretzels are cooled, you can:
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a chocolate-toffee twist.
- Sprinkle sea salt lightly to balance the sweetness.
- Add sprinkles or crushed candies for a festive touch.
Tips for Perfect Butter Toffee Pretzels
- Uniform coating: Make sure the pretzels are in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overlapping pretzels can stick together.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Nut-free option: Omit nuts entirely if you want a simple sweet-and-salty snack.
