How To Make Butter Toffee Pretzels:

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 200F (95C). Lightly grease a large roasting pan with cooking spray (a disposable one works well). Add the 10 cups of pretzels to the roasting pan; set aside.

Step 2: Make Toffee Sauce: In a medium saucepan, add the 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup cubed butter, and 1/4 cup corn syrup. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 3: Whisk in Leavening: Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp baking soda; the toffee will bubble violently.

Step 4: Coat and Toss: Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels. Sprinkle half of the bag of toffee bits over the pretzels, too. Toss the pretzels thoroughly to coat evenly in the toffee mixture and toffee bits.

Step 5: Bake: Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the hot toffee mixture evenly coats the pretzels.

Step 6: Cool and Finish: Once baked, spread the pretzel mixture onto a wax paper-lined countertop and immediately sprinkle with the remaining toffee bits. Allow the pretzels to set and harden, about 1 hour, before breaking into smaller clusters and packaging.
