Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it aside.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture is well combined.
-
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 300°F on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
-
Once the toffee reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.
-
Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute or two to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the toffee.
-
Sprinkle the pretzel pieces over the chocolate layer, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
-
While the chocolate is still soft, decorate the toffee to resemble reindeers: place two miniature pretzels at the top of each piece for antlers, use two red candies for the nose, and two candy eyes or mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
-
Allow the toffee to cool and the chocolate to set completely before breaking it into pieces.
-
Serve your Reindeer Toffee on a festive platter or package them in pretty bags as gifts for friends and family.
