Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 6 cups mini pretzels
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon thoroughly. This dry mixture will coat the pretzels later.
- Place the mini pretzels in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted salted butter over the pretzels, then stir gently to ensure every pretzel is evenly coated with butter, which helps the cinnamon sugar stick.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter-coated pretzels, mix carefully to distribute evenly, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar and mix again to ensure full coverage.
- Spread the coated pretzels evenly on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even baking and to prevent burning.
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the cookie sheet. This helps them crisp up.
- Once cooled, serve immediately or transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage to keep them fresh and crunchy.
