Ingredients
- Pretzel Sticks: 1 bag (12 ounces) thick pretzel sticks (dipping sticks recommended)
- Butter: ½ cup melted and slightly cooled
- Egg White: 1 large egg white
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Sugar: 1 cup granulated sugar
- Cinnamon: 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep Your Workspace:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt & Mix:
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly.
- Separate the egg white from the yolk, then whisk the egg white with vanilla extract. Stir the mixture into the cooled butter.
- Sweet & Spiced Coating:
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create the sweet, spiced sugar coating.
- Coat the Pretzels:
- Place the pretzel sticks into a large zip-top bag. Pour the butter mixture over the pretzels, seal the bag, and gently shake to coat evenly.
- Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to the bag, reseal it, and shake again until all pretzels are fully coated.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Spread the coated pretzel sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Cool & Serve:
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Allow the pretzels to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- You can freeze uncoated pretzels for up to 3 months. Just thaw and coat in cinnamon sugar before serving.
