🥘Ingredients
- Small Pretzels - I used Tiny Twists!

🔪Step by Step Instructions
This recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels could not be any easier! Just toss the ingredients together and bake!
Photo 1 - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by mixing together the sugar and cinnamon.
Photo 2 - In a large bowl, toss the pretzels with the melted butter then toss with the cinnamon sugar so the pretzels are all coated.
Photo 3 - Spread the coated pretzels out onto the lined baking sheet. Make sure to scrape any excess butter/sugar mixture from the bowl.
Photo 4 - Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes until the pretzels are lightly toasted and the sugar has clumped and dried on the pretzels. Allow to cool before breaking apart and enjoying.
💭Recipe Tips
- Leftovers - Leftovers keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for one to two weeks.
- To Double the Recipe - The recipe is easy to double but you'll want to bake it on two baking sheets so the pretzels are spread out into an even layer.
- Line the baking sheet - Make sure to line the pan with either parchment paper or a silicone liner otherwise the sugar could stick to the pan and be tricky to remove without breaking the pretzels.
- Oven Temp - It's very important to not bake these at too high of heat or the sugar can burn. If you think your oven runs warm OR if you're using a dark/nonstick baking sheet then I recommend baking at 325 degrees F instead of 350 degrees F.
