Delight in the perfect sweet and crunchy snack with these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Pretzels. Coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar glaze and baked to crisp perfection, they bring the nostalgic flavors of the classic cereal into an irresistible pretzel treat.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Glaze: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined, creating a rich cinnamon-sugar glaze.
  3. Coat Pretzels: Place the mini pretzels in a large mixing bowl and pour the warm butter-sugar mixture over them. Toss thoroughly to coat every pretzel evenly with the glaze.
  4. Spread and Bake: Spread the coated pretzels evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Bake and Stir: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the bake time to redistribute the coating and prevent burning or clumping.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pretzels from the oven, toss them once more to break up any clusters, then let them cool completely before serving or storing to maintain crisp texture.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Store the cooled pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and crispy for up to a week.
  • Optional pinch of salt can enhance the flavor contrast but can be omitted for a sweeter treat.
  • Use mini pretzels for the best coating and texture; larger pretzels may require longer baking time.
