Crunchy mini pretzels coated in a buttery cinnamon sugar glaze, baked to perfection for a sweet and salty snack that’s perfect any time of day.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for the coated pretzels.
  2. Melt and mix the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Coat the pretzels: Place the mini pretzels into a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm cinnamon butter mixture over the pretzels and toss thoroughly to ensure each pretzel is evenly coated with the glaze.
  4. Arrange for baking: Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet to allow even baking and crisping.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, about 12-15 minutes in, stir the pretzels gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated and baked.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and toss the pretzels once more for a final coat. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing to allow the glaze to set perfectly.

Notes

  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  • Store the cooled pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • A pinch of salt is optional but recommended to balance the sweetness.
  • These are great for snacking, parties, or gift giving.
