Ingredients

• 4 cups salted pretzels
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pretzels in a large Ziploc bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin; you want a mix of small chunks and crumbs.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels with the butter mixture. Stir well to ensure the pretzels are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated pretzels in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they don’t burn.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the pretzel crunch cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Break the cooled pretzel crunch into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week. Serve as a snack or use as a topping for desserts like ice cream or yogurt.
