Ingredients
- 4 cups salted mini pretzels - about ½ of a 16-ounce bag
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup milk powder (like Nestle)
- ⅓ cup malted milk powder (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 tablespoons butter (1 stick, plus 6 tablespoons), melted
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 275 F.
-
Pour the pretzels in a ziplock bag and hammered them with a mallet - or anything hard, breaking them up into one-quarter of their original size. Add the milk powder, malt powder, sugar, and salt, toss to mix. Add the butter and toss to coat.
-
Spread the mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes. It should look toasted a little toasted. Cool completely and break into clusters.
-
Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, the crunch will keep fresh for 1 week; in the fridge or freezer, it will keep for 1 month. You can drizzle chocolate on top for an even more decadent treat.
Recipe Notes
Malted milk powder can be found by regular milk powder, canned milk, hot cocoa, and condensed milk.
