Description

This Pretzel Toffee recipe combines salty pretzels with rich toffee and melted chocolate, creating a delightful sweet and salty treat perfect for snacking or gifting. The toffee is cooked on the stovetop, poured over pretzels on a baking sheet, baked briefly, then topped with melted chocolate and crunchy toppings before setting in the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Base

  • 6 ounces pretzel sticks

Toppings

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp Skor bits
  • Additional broken pretzels for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Place pretzel sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even coverage for the toffee layer.
  3. Make Toffee Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly as the mixture heats until it comes to a full boil.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Pretzels: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels on the baking sheet, making sure all pretzels are coated.
  5. Bake Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. This step helps the toffee set and soak into the pretzels.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-covered pretzels. The heat will melt the chips.
  7. Spread Melted Chocolate: Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the melted chocolate over the entire surface, covering the toffee and pretzels.
  8. Add Toppings: Immediately top with additional broken pretzels and Skor bits for extra texture and crunch.
  9. Cool and Set: Let the pan cool to room temperature on the counter, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for about one hour until the toffee bark is fully set and firm.
  10. Break Into Pieces: Once well chilled, remove from the fridge and break the pretzel toffee bark into bite-sized pieces for serving or storing.

Notes

  • Ensure the toffee mixture reaches a full boil to achieve the correct consistency for setting.
  • Use parchment or wax paper to line the pan for easy removal of the toffee bark.
  • Skor bits add a nice toffee crunch topping but can be omitted or substituted with chopped toffee candy.
  • Store the toffee bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and crisp.
  • This treat is perfect for holiday gifting or as a sweet snack anytime.
