If you are anything like me…
salty sweet is where it’s AT!
This is like chocolate covered pretzels KICKED up a big notch!
You like toffee, right?
This toffee is easy to make and believe me it does not disappoint. It’s salty sweet crunchy and smooth all at once, how is that possible?
Who cares how it’s possible, I’m just SO glad it is.
This toffee is topped with these cute GOOGLE EYES, click the link for how to instructions.
This tray was gone WAY to fast, so feel free to double the recipe….I’m wishing I did.
This is one of those go to items, if you are invited at the last minute you can whip up a batch of this pretty quick!
Line a rolled edge baking sheet with nonstick foil and then spread out pretzels into a flat layer. Make the toffee and pour on top, place it in the oven and when it comes out,
place chocolate chips on top, the heat of the toffee will melt the chocolate and make it easy to spread smooth.
Place the googly eyes on top of the chocolate and then place it in the refrigerator to set up the chocolate.
- ½ bag (about 7 oz) pretzel sticks (you will have leftover pretzels)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
- Googley Eyes Click link for how to instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Line a ¼ sheet pan with rolled edge with nonstick foil
- Place pretzels on baking sheet.
- In saucepan heat butter and sugar and boil for three minutes.
- Pour the heated toffee over the pretzels.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Take pan out of oven.
- Place chocolate chips on top of toffee, wait 1 minute. Spread with offset spatula.
- Place Googly eyes on top and place baking sheet in refrigerator to set up for 30 minutes.
- Cut apart with knife or break into pieces.
Cut up the toffee and ENJOY it!

October 17, 2013 at 2:30 pmI love sweet and salty together. Those homemade googly eyes make those treats so much fun. I don’t know if I’d ever have the patience to make them, but I love how they came out!! They make a great, festive touch to the toffee.

October 21, 2013 at 11:20 amWhat is a 1/4 sheet pan? Is it the size of a jelly role pan (which is large) or a 9 x 13 cake pan or a cookie sheet?
Thanks!
