Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz bag pretzel snaps square-shaped preferred
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 8 oz bag Heath bits
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts finely chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Cook until boiling, then let it boil without stirring for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and baking soda. Mixture will bubble and foam slightly.
  • Place pretzels in a large bowl. Pour the toffee mixture over them and stir until evenly coated.
  • Add Heath bits to the coated pretzels and gently mix to combine.
  • Spread pretzels in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped peanuts over the warm pretzels. Gently toss to distribute.
  • Let cool completely. Break into bite-size pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over the cooled pretzels. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. Great for holiday gift bags or snack bowls at parties.
