Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) bag pretzel snaps
⅔ cup butter
1¼ cups brown sugar
⅓ cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 (8-ounce) bag Heath bits
¼ cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Place the pretzel snaps in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the toffee mixture over the pretzels and toss until evenly coated.
Stir in the Heath bits and mix well.
Spread the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the finely chopped roasted peanuts.
Toss gently to combine.
Allow the pretzels to cool completely before breaking into pieces.
Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

For extra crunch, use dry-roasted peanuts.
Let the pretzels cool completely before storing to prevent stickiness.
Great for holiday snack mixes and homemade food gifts.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
You can substitute pecans or almonds for the peanuts if desired.
