Salted Pretzel Toffee {DIY Holiday Treats}

Ok peeps, I am warning you…you may find yourself licking the screen once you lay your eyes on these fantastic goodie!!

First a disclaimer…

***this treat is highly addictive, EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK***

Every year I make saltine toffee for the holidays you may have heard people refer to this as “Christmas Crack” but we changed it up a bit and with our tweaks we feel it kinda looks like fun & festive holiday lights, plus…”Holiday Lights Toffee” rings a little cuter than “Christmas Crack”.

Perhaps it is our love for all things salty & sweet so we took this popular recipe and kicked it up a tad by substituting pretzels sticks for the saltines, added some color with mini M&M’s (holiday lights) and topped off with a dash of sea salt.  Drooling yet?

Go ahead take a bite (:  Wanna make some?  Here you go!

Items Needed:

10×15 pan lined with foil

1 cup of butter

1 cup packed light brown sugar

Rold Gold Pretzel Sticks

Nestle Chocolate Chips

Mini M&M’S

Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line the 10×15 pan with enough pretzel sticks to cover the bottom.  In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt down butter with brown sugar and bring to a boil.  Boil for 3 min.  Pour the mixture over the pretzels as evenly as possible.  Now, place this in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the over and sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Wait a few minutes for the chips to melt and spread evenly.  Next, sprinkle the M&M’s on top and finish with sea salt.  Refrigerate to set and cool.  Once hard, break into small pieces and eat  place into containers to give as gifts!
