How to Make Salty Sweet Pretzel Toffee
Salty Sweet Pretzel Toffee is one of those easy treats that disappears quickly. Crunchy pretzel sticks are layered with buttery, crisp toffee, then covered with a smooth layer of chocolate for the perfect sweet and salty combination. It has plenty of crunch, a little saltiness from the pretzels, and rich buttery toffee in every bite.

This is a simple candy-style treat that looks impressive but is surprisingly easy to make. The pretzels give the toffee a delicious crunch, while the chocolate on top makes it extra indulgent. Break it into pieces and serve it for holidays, parties, cookie trays, or whenever you want something sweet and crunchy.
Why you’ll love Salty Sweet Pretzel Toffee
There is something about the combination of pretzels, buttery toffee, and chocolate that just works. The salty pretzels balance the sweetness of the toffee, and the chocolate adds a rich finish.
It is also a great make-ahead treat. Once the chocolate and toffee have set, simply break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container.

Line a baking sheet with pretzels (I used pretzel sticks).
Make the toffee and pour it on top.

Place chocolate chips on top of the toffee. The heat of the toffee will melt the chocolate and make it easy to spread smoothly.

Place the googly eyes on top of the chocolate and then place it in the refrigerator to set up the chocolate
Cut up the toffee and ENJOY it!

*I used to line the pan with foil, but realized it wasn’t necessary as the toffee does not stick.

- Pour the heated toffee over the pretzels.
- Place the chocolate chips on top of the toffee and wait 1 minute. Spread with an offset spatula.
- If using the decorative candy eyes or sprinkles. Place them on top so they harden in the chocolate as it sets up.

How did you cut the Salty Sweet Pretzel Toffee so that it was so square and smooth?
I cut it with a large chefs knife, the pretzels help keep it straighter than without, some pieces end up breaking into triangles but loads of them are squares.
What a fun (and funny) idea Diane!
You are definitely on a roll with all the cute, yummy treats! The eyes have it:)
The little googly eyes are so cute!
What 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!
This is the 1/4 sheet pan. https://www.nordicware.com/store/products/detail/naturals-bakers-quarter-sheet-commercial/21A79684-7C89-102A-B382-0002B3267AD7

I 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.
So simple and simply adorable!
