Ingredients
- 4 cups mini pretzels (or pretzel twists, broken into smaller pieces)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Prepare the Pretzels: Spread the pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Melt the Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the pretzels. Use a spatula or spoon to gently toss the pretzels, ensuring they are evenly coated with the butter.
-
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In another small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
-
Coat the Pretzels: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered pretzels. Toss the pretzels again to ensure an even coating.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent clumping. The low heat helps the sugar adhere to the pretzels without burning.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the sugar coating will harden slightly, creating a delightful crunch.
-
Store: Transfer the cooled pretzels to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week (if they last that long!).
