Very good! Was a touch confused by "Cook, without sitting, 5 minutes." but figured that you meant "stirring". Could not find butternut flavoring so I used half vanilla extract and half butter extract. Made this for Bargain Basement Game so I was committed, but when I got to the store there was a sale on pretzels and all that was left was the small pretzel *sticks*. These are difficult to stir and even harder to measure, so it would be better to stick to the twisted variety or nuggets. I used two 1 pound bags of pretzels, added 1 pound of lightly salted roasted peanuts and made 1.5 times the recipe's glaze. Thanks Ridgely, I am sure DH will request this often. NOTE: Be very careful not to touch the glaze when stirring - very hot, and I speak from experience here ;)
