Ingredients
- 16 cups pretzels
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla-butter-nut-flavoring
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Pretzels: Place the pretzels in a large roasting pan, ensuring they are spread out evenly to allow for even coating.
-
Prepare Syrup: In a heavy medium saucepan, butter the sides to prevent sticking. Combine the brown sugar, butter, margarine, and light corn syrup in the saucepan.
-
Cook Syrup: Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes without stirring, allowing it to thicken slightly.
-
Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the optional vanilla-butter-nut-flavoring along with the baking soda. The mixture will foam up, which is normal.
-
Coat Pretzels: Pour the syrup over the pretzels in the roasting pan, ensuring that all the pretzels are well coated. Use a spatula or spoon to gently toss and mix the pretzels until they are evenly coated with the syrup.
-
Bake: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring the pretzels every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and coating.
-
Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and spread the pretzels onto greased aluminum foil to cool. Once cooled completely, transfer the Butter Crunch Pretzels to an airtight container for storage.
