This is my last toffee recipe… I promise. It’s so addicting and so easy to make. However this pretzel toffee is hands down my favorite. I don’t know what it is about me and pretzels and sweet things but I have been on such a pretzel kick.

This is very similar to the Coconut Toffee (pictured below) I did last week but instead of crackers you are using pretzels as the base. Again, this recipe only takes minutes to make and is so delicious. It’s the  perfect homemade gift … that is if you don’t eat it all yourself.

This coconut toffee candy is so easy to make and tastes delicious! It's a great homemade gift for teachers, neighbors and love ones.

Quick story: My mother in law has Alzheimers and she lives with us. She’s the sweetest woman you would ever want to know. Truly. Anyway  a year or two ago, she was really into making this toffee and one day she ate a whole batch of it throughout the day. The next day, she came over to me and said, “I’m not mad or anything, but did you eat all of my toffee?” Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep sane. 😉

Back to my pretzel toffee. Here is the run down of the simple instructions. See pics below. First you layer your pretzels on a sprayed cookie sheet (top left pan). I had to break a lot of them apart to fit into the loops of the whole pretzels. You want to cover as much real estate on the cookie sheet as you can.

Meanwhile you have your brown sugar and butter melting away on the stove until it’s all thick and bubbly. Pour it over your pretzels and pop in the oven (top right pan).

When it comes out of the oven the toffee will form around the pretzels as you can see in the bottom left pan. Hurry and sprinkle your chocolate and peanut butter chips over the pretzels and smooth them out as they melt (bottom right pan). Pop them into the freezer this time to harden. Take them out in about an hour and break into smaller pieces.

See that holly in the background? My hubs made me put that in there. Now that he has his own blog, he likes to give me artistic direction. Good thing he’s cute. 😉 And there you have your glorious peanut butter pretzel toffee. It is so good. You have to try it and hopefully you will be able to give some away. I have to make another batch as the last batch seemed to disappear somehow. This time it was me. 😉

    Oh, No! I thought I was the only one who had a Hubby that was very opinionated about MY artistic interpretation. And I can see why this treat would magically disappear. It looks delicious and I didn’t realize it was so easy to make. Will have to make a batch soon.

    I must be honest Denise, if I make this I will be eating it all alone. I love the combination of chocolate pretzels and salt…. The one thing I can never keep my hands off. Looks so good.

    You crack me up Denise! Love your stories 🙂 And this toffee! I’ve never made them before…I didn’t realize they were quick and easy to whip up. Perfect for the holidays, we haven’t quite figured out what we’re giving some people on our list.
