Ingredients
  

  • 60 Snack Factory pretzel crisps or chocolate covered pretzel crisps.
  • 1 c salted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 c light brown sugar
  • flaky sea salt
  • 10 oz milk chocolate chips (if you don't use chocolate covered pretzel crisps)

Instructions
 

  • Lay pretzel crisps on a parchment lined half sheet pan barely overlapping.
  • To a non-stick pot over medium heat melt butter.
  • Add a packed cup of brown sugar to the pot and continuously stir with a rubber spatula. It will take about five minutes for the butter and brown sugar to fully combine.
  • Continue stirring with the spatula until the temperature reaches 260 degrees (hard ball stage). The mixutre will be thick and amber in color.
  • Evenly pour over the pretzels crisps.
  • If you're using plain pretzel crisps and not the chocolate covered ones you'll need to add your chocolate chips immedately on top of the hot toffee. Wait 5 minutes and then spread out the chocolate.
  • Sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Cool for a minimum of 3 hours before breaking into pieces.
