Vegan Pretzel Toffee

From Pascha's Kitchen

Vegan Pretzel Toffee is a delightful treat that combines the rich crunch of pretzels with smooth, buttery toffee, all while being completely plant-based. The recipe starts with a base of crushed pretzels that are then drenched in a decadent toffee sauce made from vegan butter and sugar, which caramelizes into a crispy layer. Once set, it's topped with Pascha's melted Semi Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips, offering a perfect contrast to the crunchy toffee and salty pretzels. The mix of sweet, salty, and crunchy textures makes it an irresistible snack that's both satisfying and indulgent!

It's an easy, no-bake dessert that’s perfect for gift-giving or serving at parties. The recipe can be adjusted for personal preferences, such as adding toppings like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavor further.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Line the pretzels in a single layer on the parchment paper.
  2. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium/low heat.
  3. Once melted, add in the sugar and stir well using a wooden spoon. Stir constantly until the mixture comes together and starts boiling. Insert a candy thermometer and boil until mixture reaches 270°, stirring regularly. This took exactly 5 minutes for me every time.
  4. Take off the heat and quickly pour over the pretzels, covering as much as possible. Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and stir with the wooden spoon to coat all the pretzels and try to arrange them in a single layer again. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top evenly and place back in the oven for 1 minute. Remove and use the spoon to spread all over the pretzel/toffee mixture.
  6. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Place in the fridge for an hour to set.
  7. Remove and break into pieces.
  8. Store covered at room temperature. Share with friends, or savor these delightful treats on your own.

Notes

  • Coconut oil cannot be used in place of the vegan butter, it will not mix properly. Use the sticks of vegan butter as they don’t have a high water percentage.

  • This is not a treat to make with kids. The mixture gets extremely hot and is best to make while kids are out of the kitchen.
