How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

This is an odd recipe as it’s oil that you’re going to stir into the pretzels and not melted butter and then use the microwave (no oven needed!!) to bake it all in there. It works. I promise, but it is a little weird to pour oil all over something you want to eat. Here is how it will go…

1. Combine the pretzels, canola oil and cinnamon sugar in a large glass bowl and toss until the cinnamon sugar coats all the pretzels.
2. Microwave for 2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds.
3. Pour the pretzels out onto a sheet pan and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar mixture.
   • PRO TIP: We like to add this little extra cinnamon sugar right before we drizzle the white chocolate, but don’t stress if you forget. They are wonderful either way.
4. Let the pretzels cool and air dry completely and then drizzle with melted white chocolate.
5. Let them air dry again and eat!
