1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Prepare the Toffee Mixture
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir for 3–4 minutes until bubbling and smooth. Stir in vanilla and baking soda; the mixture will foam slightly.

Place pretzels in a large mixing bowl and pour the hot toffee over them. Toss gently until evenly coated.
4. Bake
Spread pretzels onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even crunch and caramelization.
5. Cool & Serve
Let cool completely, then break apart any clusters. Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle sea salt if desired.
