10 cups mini pretzels
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (8-ounce) package toffee bits, divided
Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Step 2 - Lightly coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.
Step 3 - Add the pretzels to the prepared roasting pan.
Step 4 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the brown sugar, the cubed butter, and the corn syrup and bring to a boil.
Step 5 - Boil the brown sugar mixture, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
Step 6 - Transfer the brown sugar mixture from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and the baking soda, carefully. The mixture will be violently bubbling and that is okay.
Step 7 - Evenly pour the brown sugar mixture over the pretzels.
Step 8 - Sprinkle the coated pretzels with 1/2 of the toffee bits and toss to evenly coat.
Step 9 - Bake the coated pretzels, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour.
Step 10 - Spread the baked pretzels onto a wax-paper-lined countertop and immediately sprinkle them with the remaining toffee bits.
Step 11 - Let the toffee pretzels set until they have hardened, about 1 hour.
Step 12 - Break the cooled toffee pretzels into small clusters.
Step 13 - Serve.
