Move over Muddy Buddies. Move over caramel popcorn. The new can’t-get-enough snack is this sweet, salty, and addictive dairy pretzel snack.
Some desserts are great when they’re served in single portions, like a slice of cheesecake or a ramekin of creme brulee. Then there are those sweets that are great when simply served in a bowl, so you can take one bite or a handful, whatever you choose…like those Muddy Buddies you love. This is one of those snack-like sweets. Since it’s dairy, the only time I ever think to serve it is at a melave malkah or a Chanukah party.
Melt butter with brown sugar.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda.
Mix well and get everything coated evenly.
These still need to bake at a low temp for a little while to get crispy. Then, they’re ready to enjoy! Store in an airtight container until it’s time for the party!
