Sweet and Spicy Pretzels
Sweet and Spicy Pretzels are the perfect balance of sugar and heat, offering a delicious crunch with flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, and cayenne pepper. These addictive snacks are ideal for parties, game days, or as a flavorful on-the-go treat.
Ingredients
- 14 oz. package mini pretzels
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper adjust based on spice preference
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter, vanilla extract, and pretzels.
- In a small bowl mix together sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until fully combined.
- Pour sugar mixture over the pretzels and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sweet and spicy mixture.
- Spread the coated pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Once the pretzels are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
- As they cool, the coating will harden and become deliciously crunchy.
- Enjoy them once cooled, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week (though they rarely last that long!).
