Step 3: Coat the Pretzels
Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir and coat every pretzel thoroughly. Make sure all pieces are glistening with the golden toffee.
Step 4: Add Nuts or Chocolate (Optional)
If you’re using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the coated pretzels while the toffee is still hot. For a chocolate drizzle:
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle over the toffee-coated pretzels with a spoon or piping bag.
Step 5: Let It Set
Allow the Butter Toffee Pretzels to cool completely at room temperature. The toffee will harden, giving each pretzel a crunchy, caramelized coating. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Step 6: Break Into Pieces and Serve
Once the toffee has fully set, break apart any pretzels that may be stuck together. Transfer to a serving bowl, store in an airtight container, or package as a homemade gift.
Tips for Perfect Butter Toffee Pretzels
- Don’t walk away from the toffee: Sugar burns quickly, so stir constantly while boiling.
- Use fresh pretzels: Stale pretzels can affect the crunch and flavor.
- Customize: Add sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or drizzle with white chocolate for a festive touch.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Butter Toffee Pretzels are more than just a snack — they’re a little bite of indulgence. The combination of salty, sweet, and buttery crunch makes them addictive, while their simplicity makes them perfect for holiday baking or any time you need a quick, irresistible treat.
