Ingredients
Scale
-
10 cups mini pretzel twists
-
1 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup light brown sugar, packed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Try drizzling cooled pretzels with melted chocolate for an extra treat or sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a salted caramel twist.
