Butter Toffee Pretzels

• ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (for smooth melting)
• Flaky sea salt (like Maldon), for sprinkling

💡 Pro Tips:

• Use fresh pretzels—stale ones won’t hold the coating well.
• Line your pan—parchment paper prevents sticking.
• Work quickly—toffee sets fast!

Step-by-Step Instructions (Crunchy, Gooey, Foolproof)

1. Prep the Pan

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels in a single layer.

2. Make the Toffee Glaze

• In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Stir in brown sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil.
• Boil 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy (it will coat the back of a spoon).
• Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla (and optional spices).

3. Coat the Pretzels

• Working quickly, dip each pretzel halfway into the toffee mixture, or spoon it over the top.
• Place back on parchment. Let cool 10–15 minutes until toffee is set.

4. Add Chocolate Drizzle

• Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil in microwave (30-sec intervals, stir between).
• Drizzle over cooled pretzels using a spoon or piping bag.
• Sprinkle immediately with flaky sea salt.

5. Set & Serve

• Let chocolate set at room temperature (or chill 5 mins).
• Break apart if using pretzel snaps; serve as-is if using rods.
