Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F and lining a baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack over the pan and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside for later.
Melt and Mix: In a medium heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, sugar, water, and salt. Stir the mixture frequently with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Bring to Boil: Once the mixture is well combined, increase the heat to bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the mixture reaches 305°F on a candy thermometer. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect toffee consistency.
Flavor Infusion: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, infusing the toffee with a hint of aromatic sweetness.
Coat the Pretzels: Quickly add the miniature pretzels to the toffee mixture, stirring gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Using a toothpick or fork, transfer the caramel-coated pretzels to the prepared cooling rack or baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer without touching.
