Molasses Pretzel Snack

Quick Cooking

"I've given this yummy munch mix as a Christmas gift to teachers, co-workers and many others," relates Jacqueline Traffas from her kitchen in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. "Made with miniature pretzels, it's a nice change of pace from caramel corn."

SERVINGS: 12

CATEGORY: Appetizer

METHOD: Microwave

TIME: Prep: 15 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 5 cups miniature pretzels
  • 1 cup salted peanuts

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and molasses. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45-50 seconds or until the butter is melted; stir.
    Microwave 15-25 seconds longer or until mixture boils. Immediately stir in the salt, baking soda and extract (mixture will foam).

    Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 6 cups.
