Malted Pretzel Crunch
So early into 2016 and I have a top recipe of the year — this Malted Pretzel Crunch. If you are a fan of the flavor of malt, which my mom and I happen to love, you should definitely try this recipe out. Crunchy, buttery, sweet and malty. Enjoy!
Malted Pretzel Crunch
Makes about 4 cups
Ingredients:
- 4 cups miniature pretzels (about 1/2 of a 16-ounce bag)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dry milk powder
- 2 tablespoons malt powder
- 14 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Crush the pretzels to about a quarter of their original size, either using your hands or putting them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a mallet or rolling pin.
- Place the crushed pretzels in a large bowl and add the sugars, milk powder and malt powder and toss to combine (I just used my hands). Pour the melted butter over the pretzel mixture and, using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it is evenly moistened and begins to clump.
- Spread the pretzel mixture into an even layer on the baking sheet and bake until they look lightly toasted and smell buttery, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Break up any large clumps and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (or store in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 1 month).

That looks addictive, I better not even try it 😉
Hah, that's the truth. I ended up making 3 batches in as many days 🙂
