Molasses Pretzel Snack (Microwaved)

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup (I have subbed this out with extra molasses, honey and agave in the past, all with great results)
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (I have subbed out vanilla in the past)
• 5 cups miniature pretzels
• 1 cup salted peanuts (unsalted is fine too)

1. 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.
2. Microwave 15-25 seconds longer or until mixture boils. Immediately stir in the salt, baking soda and extract (mixture will foam).
3. Stir in pretzels and peanuts. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until pretzels and nuts are well coated, stirring twice.
4. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan. (If I use unsalted peanuts, I sprinkle some extra sea salt on the top of the mixture). Cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Store in an airtight container.
