Ingredients

Scale

Pretzel Coating

  • 12 oz bag thick pretzel sticks
  • ½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pretzels.
  2. Prepare Coating Mixture: Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Then whisk in the egg white and vanilla extract until combined well, creating a smooth coating mixture for the pretzels.
  3. Coat Pretzels with Butter Mixture: Place the pretzel sticks into a large gallon-sized zip-top bag. Pour the prepared butter mixture into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously to ensure all pretzels are evenly coated.
  4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Pour this cinnamon sugar mixture into the bag with the butter-coated pretzels, seal the bag again, and shake well to coat the pretzels completely with the sugary spice blend.
  5. Bake the Pretzels: Spread the coated pretzels out in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Upon removal from the oven, immediately stir the pretzels to prevent them from sticking together. Allow the pretzels to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use thick pretzel sticks for a sturdier snack that holds up well to coating and baking.
  • Be sure to let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing with egg white to avoid cooking the egg.
  • Shaking pretzels in the bag helps achieve an even coating without mess.
  • Stirring the pretzels midway through baking prevents uneven browning.
  • Allow pretzels to cool completely so the coating sets and they become crisp.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
