Pretzel Toffee Bars 4 Easy Ingredients to Bliss
Pretzel Toffee Bars Are Just 4 Easy Ingredients to Bliss – they aren’t referred to as Pretzel Crack for nothing!
If you’re anything like us, these Pretzel Toffee Bars are going to blow your mind – both because they are ridiculously easy, and because they taste amazing. Kids can help get the pretzels laid out on the baking sheet – but I’d keep them away from the toffee mixture. It’s like molten lava.
Let’s get cooking!
Prep the baking sheet (affiliate links follow – see disclaimer page for details). Cover it with foil then spray well with cooking spray. Make sure the foil comes up and over the ends of the baking sheet – it makes it much easier to remove the Pretzel Toffee from the pan after it is set.
Place the pretzels in a single layer on the pan. (Kids are real handy for this part.)
Make the toffee: combine the brown sugar and butter in a heavy sauce pan. Bring it to a rolling boil.
Keep stirring for the whole 3 minutes it is bubbling. It’ll seem like it isn’t ever going to come together – it looks like a layer of grease sitting on top of the sugar. But wait… all of a sudden, it’s toffee. Pshew!
Drizzle the toffee over the top of the pretzels. Don’t worry if the pretzels aren’t completely covered – it fills in while it’s baking.
Pop it in the oven, and bake for about 8 minutes.
Sprinkle the chocolate on top of the pretzels and toffee.
Put the pan back in the oven for two minutes or so to help melt the chocolate. Then use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the pretzels.
Put the whole sheet pan in the freezer, and let it set up for half an hour or so. We tend to leave the bars in the freezer even after they’re cut – they are super tasty when frozen.
They’re almost ready to eat!
Once the chocolate is set up, pull the entire batch from the pan using the foil. Peel the foil from the bars. (Make sure you get ALL of it – little foil pieces will wreak havoc on your fillings!)
Turn the bars over and cut them into fabulous straight squares. (Ha!)
Pretzel Toffee
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pretzels (mini pretzels work best)
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 12 ounces Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Candy Melts
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil, allowing an inch overlap on the ends. Spray well with cooking spray.
- Place pretzels in single layer on baking sheet.
- In a small, heavy sauce pan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour the toffee mixture over the pretzels. Don't worry about filling in all the spots – the toffee will even out in the oven.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the toffee mixture is bubbling.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and sprinkle on the chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts evenly across the entire pan.
- Pop back in the oven for a minute or two to soften the chocolate. Remove from oven and spread the melted chocolate over the entire pan using an offset spatula.
- Put baking sheet in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove bars and foil from pan. Remove foil from bars and cut into desired sizes.
- Bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container, but we like to keep them frozen. They're great either way!
