Church Lady Butter Toffee Pretzels
Sweet • Salty • Buttery • Addictively Crunchy
Ingredients
- 1 bag (16 oz) mini pretzel twists or pretzel sticks
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2–1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Make the toffee coating
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add brown sugar.
- Stir continuously and bring to a gentle bubble.
- Once bubbling, cook 2–3 minutes until thick and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (and cinnamon if using).
3. Coat the pretzels

- Pour the warm toffee mixture over them.
- Stir until all pretzels are coated.
4. Bake
- Spread pretzels into a single layer on baking sheet.
- Bake 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Watch carefully—sugar can burn quickly!
5. Cool & break apart

- Break apart and store in an airtight container.
Tips
- Add nuts: Stir in pecans or almonds with pretzels before baking.
- Add chocolate: Drizzle with melted white or dark chocolate after cooling.
