Crunch n' Munch Butter Toffee Pretzels
10 cups regular shaped mini pretzels, salted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter flavored extract
In a large baking pan that has been sprayed with a none stick spray
pour pretzels and set aside. In a sauce pan over low heat place corn
syrup, sugars, salt, and butter mix well. When mixture is melted and
starts to bubble lightly place lid on pan for 30 seconds. After 30
seconds remove lid and stir with a clean spoon. This action will
help prevent any sugar or salt crystals from getting back into the
syrup mixture. Turn temperature down and let boil gently for five
minutes. Stir frequently while cooking.
When mixture has cooked for 5 minutes remove from heat add baking
soda and stir. Make sure all baking soda has been mixed through, the
sugar will foam and this normal. Add butter flavoring and stir well.
Pour hot toffee mixture over pretzels. Stir making sure all pretzels
are coated.
Place pretzels in a preheated oven at 225�F.
Every 15 minutes stir pretzels to coat with toffee mixture. Cook
these for 60 minutes.
When finished baking remove from oven and pour on
to a none stick service. Plastic wrap works well and little mess to
clean up. |
