Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. pretzel twists (1 bag)
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat and set it aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Coat Pretzels with Butter: Pour the pretzel twists into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the pretzels. Using a rubber spatula, toss the pretzels thoroughly so that each piece is evenly coated with butter.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended.
  4. Coat Pretzels with Cinnamon Sugar: Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter-coated pretzels. Toss again using the rubber spatula until all pretzels are coated evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Arrange Pretzels on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated pretzels evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re spread out for even baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Every 5 to 10 minutes, gently stir the pretzels with a heat-safe spoon or metal spatula to ensure even baking and to prevent burning. Keep an eye on them especially if your oven runs hot.
  7. Cool: Once baked and the pretzels no longer appear wet, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet for 20-45 minutes, depending on your kitchen temperature.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve the cinnamon sugar pretzels as a crunchy, sweet and salty snack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Once the pretzels are completely cooled, transfer them to a gallon-sized plastic bag. Seal tightly, pressing out excess air. Properly stored, they will keep fresh for more than a week.
  • Watch the Oven: Since ovens vary, keep an eye on the pretzels to prevent burning. Stirring every 5-10 minutes helps ensure even baking.
  • Variations: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
