What Do I Need to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels?
Have you all tried Dots pretzels? The original Dots are incredible, but I just tried the cinnamon sugar Dots recently and they are heavenly! In fact, they reminded me of this pretzel dessert recipe! You only need 4 ingredients to make this simple, yet irresistible treat…
- Canola Oil: helps the cinnamon sugar stick to the pretzels without changing any flavor
- Cinnamon Sugar: see section below for making your own
- Mini Pretzels: grab a bag of store bought small pretzel twists
- White Chocolate: melting wafers work great or white chocolate chips are fine too
The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

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…
- Combine the pretzels, canola oil and cinnamon sugar in a large glass bowl and toss until the cinnamon sugar coats all the pretzels.
- Microwave for 2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds.
- 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.
- Let the pretzels cool and air dry completely and then drizzle with melted white chocolate.
- Let them air dry again and eat!
