Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup coconut oil (vegetable oil can be used)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 16 oz twisted pretzels

Instructions

  1. Melt the Coconut Oil: In a large bowl, gently melt the coconut oil until it is fully liquid, preparing it to combine with the sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: Stir the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon into the melted coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a deliciously aromatic glaze.
  3. Coat the Pretzels: Add the twisted pretzels to the bowl and gently toss them with a spatula or large spoon, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pretzels in a single even layer on an 11×13-inch baking sheet, making sure they are separated to allow even baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 3 to 5 minutes. Watch closely and remove them as soon as the sugar changes color to prevent burning and achieve a perfect caramelization.
  6. Cool Before Serving: Let the cinnamon pretzels cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet to allow the coating to set before serving and enjoying.

Notes

  • Use vegetable oil if you prefer a milder taste than coconut oil.
  • Keep a close eye while baking to avoid burning the sugar coating.
  • Store cooled pretzels in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
  • For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the pretzels before baking.
