Ingredients
- half of a 15-ounce bag of salted stick pretzels
- 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
Directions
-
Put the pretzels into a bowl and break them into pieces. You don’t have to be exact, but try to make sure each pretzel is broken into at least 4 pieces.
-
Prepare an 8-inch square brownie pan by lining it with a piece of heavy-duty foil that is large enough to stick up at least two inches above the sides of your pan. You will use these “ears” of foil to lift out your candy after it has cooled and hardened.
-
Spray the inside of the foil with Pam or another nonstick cooking spray.
-
Open the can of sweetened, condensed milk and pour it into another microwave-safe bowl.
-
Sprinkle the salt on top of the sweetened condensed milk.
-
Place the 2 cups of butterscotch chips on the top.
-
Stir everything up with a heat-resistant rubber spatula.
-
Set aside your spatula and microwave the contents of the bowl on HIGH for 2 minutes.
-
Let the bowl and its contents sit inside the microwave for 1 minute to cool.
-
Stir the contents of the bowl with your heat-resistant spatula to see if the chips are melted. If you can stir the mixture smooth, you’re ready to complete your candy. If you can’t stir the mixture smooth, microwave it on HIGH in 20-second increments followed by a 1-minute standing time until you can stir it smooth.
-
Quickly add your broken pieces of pretzels to the mixture in your bowl and stir the in.
-
Spread your Butterscotch Crunch Candy out in your prepared pan. Smooth it out on top with your heat-resistant spatula.
-
Place the pan in the refrigerator uncovered, for at least 2 hours.
-
Take the pan from the refrigerator, lift out the foil with the candy inside, and peel off the foil.
-
Cut your Butterscotch Crunch Candy into fudge-sized pieces.
-
Store the pieces in a covered container in the refrigerator.
-
Take the container out approximately 20 minutes before you want to serve your Butterscotch Crunch Candy.
