Ingredients

  • 1 + 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 + 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 300 g semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips about one small bag
  • 1 teaspoon flaky or coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray or butter. Arrange pretzels in a single layer to cover the baking sheet.
  • Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a light boil, reduce to medium heat and bubble for 6 minutes, continuing to stir.
  • Pour the butter & sugar mixture over the pretzels. Spread gently with a spatula so that all of the pretzels are covered.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the pretzels and toffee while it's still hot. Gently spread the chocolate as it melts to cover the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt while the chocolate is still melted.
  • Cool crack to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once cooled, break or cut into pieces.
