Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Toffee

chocolate-covered pretzel toffee

dangerously addicting

Ingredients:

• Pretzels (I use the thin sticks)

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

• 1 cup sliced almonds (or nut of choice)

• Flaky salt, optional

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease.

2. Line the baking sheet with the pretzels to cover the surface, you can break some of them to fit.

3. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and brown sugar. Heat, stirring until the butter melts. 

4. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook without stirring for 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn!

5. Immediately pour the toffee over the pretzels in an even layer to coat. Be sure to cover all the pretzels!

6. Bake for 5-7 minutes, the mixture should be bubbling.

7. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately add the chocolate chips on top. Add more or less, depending on how thick you want your chocolate layer to be. Cover the pan with foil to trap the heat.

8. After a few minutes the chocolate should be soft, using a spatula spread the chocolate in an even layer over the toffee.

9. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and flaky salt, if using.

10. Transfer the pan to the freezer to cool. Once cool, break the toffee into pieces and store in the freezer.

11. Enjoy!
