I was given a real challenge this time: look through the Land O’ Lakes 2013 Holiday Recipe Guide and select just one recipe to recreate. They all looked so delicious – some savory, some sweet, all giftable and decadent. I began by shopping for Land O’Lakes butter at Walmart.
So which recipe did I choose? Pretzel toffee! This recipe is everything I love about desserts in one! It’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s buttery, it’s chocolatey, it’s crunchy…and it’s extremely simple to make. This pretzel toffee is a wonderful alternative to traditional holiday chocolate bark, and makes a delicious gift or party dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups Land O Lakes® Butter
- 6 ounces (4 cups) pretzel sticks
- 1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 ounces white chocolate baking bar, curled
Directions:
Gather your ingredients. 
Heat oven to 400ºF. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil; butter foil. 
Place pretzels in single layer on pan. 
Combine brown sugar and butter in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Continue cooking 2 minutes.
Pour mixture over pretzels.
Bake 10 minutes. (Mixture may look foamy.)
Remove from oven; sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips. Return to oven 1 minute to soften chocolate chips. Remove from oven. Gently spread chocolate over pretzels; cool 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with white chocolate curls, and cool completely. Break into smaller pieces. Your Pretzel Toffee can be playfully wrapped to give as a gift (if you can avoid eating it all yourself).
This Pretzel Toffee can be stored in the fridge for at least a week and this recipe makes a nice big batch (probably 2 – 3 giftable quantities). It is delicious chilled or served at room temperature.
