• Stir for about 20 minutes. But be careful of your spoon--I melted mine and had to start over fresh.
• Then pour it on the pan with the parchment paper.
• Place your 1/2 bag of pretzels into a bowl and crush them into large bits (don't crush them in the bag because then you can't manage the size of the bits as well).
• Drop your crushed pretzels across the top of the toffee and gently pat them down.
• Set the pan in the fridge for about 10 mintues or until the toffee is hard.

Using 2 spoons, scoop and shape into 2-inch-diameter mounds on a baking sheet lined with foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat. If the mix becomes too hard to shape, reheat for 15 seconds.
