Time 15m

Yield 6 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 tablespoon corn syrup (I have subbed this out with extra molasses, honey and agave in the past, all with great results)
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (I have subbed out vanilla in the past)
5 cups miniature pretzels
1 cup salted peanuts (unsalted is fine too)

Steps:

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and molasses. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45-50 seconds or until the butter is melted; stir.
  • Microwave 15-25 seconds longer or until mixture boils. Immediately stir in the salt, baking soda and extract (mixture will foam).
  • Stir in pretzels and peanuts. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until pretzels and nuts are well coated, stirring twice.
  • Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan. (If I use unsalted peanuts, I sprinkle some extra sea salt on the top of the mixture). Cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Store in an airtight container.
