01 - 3 cups mini pretzels
02 - 2 cups mixed unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, pecans, peanuts)

03 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves and turns golden amber, about 5 to 7 minutes.
04 - Carefully whisk in heavy cream (mixture will bubble), then add sea salt and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy.
05 - Immediately pour hot caramel over pretzel and nut mixture. Toss gently with a spatula to coat evenly.
