Need a quick snack recipe and I mean quick? Plus it is yummy!!
I made these for my Christmas plates but they would be fabulous for a New Year's Party, Super Bowl Party or anytime during the year.
Cinnamon Pretzels!
It is such a nice surprise when you think you are biting into a regular pretzel and then find the taste of cinnamon and sugar! Delicious.
Put them in a Decorative Tin and they would make a wonderful Hostess Gift as well.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 pound package small pretzel twists
Directions:
1. In a large roasting pan stir together oil, sugar and cinnamon. Add pretzels; toss well to combine. Bake, uncovered in a 300 degree F oven for 30 minutes, stirring twice. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in an airtight container. Makes 12 cups.
Microwave Directions:
2. In a very large bowl stir together oil, sugar and cinnamon. Add pretzels; toss well to combine. Place half of the pretzel mixture in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Repeat with remaining pretzel mixture.
In reading the reviews of this recipe a couple complaints were that the sugar wasn't sticking to the pretzel. To make sure the pretzels were well coated this is what I did. (I used the oven, not the microwave).
A couple hints of what I did:
1) I used Rold Gold Mini Pretzels as they are a little fatter. (I made one batch with the thinner ones and not as good).
2) I doubled the oil, sugar and cinnamon for 1 pound of pretzels to make the coating thicker.
3) I put the coating in a bowl, poured in 1/2 the pretzels and stirred them until well coated. I used tongs to place them on the pan. Then I repeated the process. Any additional coating remaining in the bowl I poured over the pretzels in the pan. I also set the timer at 10 minute intervals to stir them thoroughly to keep them coated. I had no problems and the thicker coating was the best!!
I cannot stress enough how easy this recipe is and how good they are!! I hope you make them for yourself if nothing else. Enjoy!

Shar - I love this idea. I'm a salty person but I have several friends who prefer sweet so these would be perfect hostess gifts for them! I'll let you know how it goes :0)
Wow! Sounds terrific and you are right looks pretty easy. I will try it. Happy New Year!
You just made the gathering easier on us. Thanks for the recipe. Have a safe and enjoyable new year.
Thanks, always need something quick and easy. I might take to an open house the smell should be as great as the snack.
These look deliscious... I'll have to give them a try! Happy New Year!
Shar~They look and sound good, but I think I need to lose a few pounds before I make any more treats.
Have an AWESOME day!
Sounds sinful Shar! Yummm!
Good morning Shar. What a great idea this is. I love it and appreciate you sharing. I am hardly a cook but I think I could actually do this. Happy New Year.
Shar, these do sound interesting - a good combination of sweet and salty. I just sent my husband a text to grab a bag of the pretzels so I can try this. Thanks for a new, quick treat.
Shar- do I dare show these to my husband the snack food junkie! They do look like fun to eat and as fun to make.
Yes let me know Susan!
It is so easy Bill, and Happy New Year to you!
Glad I could help!
This is so quick Doris you are going to love it!
Happy New Year to you Karin!
I hear you Michael....the holidays and vacation have done a number on my weight loss, and not a number I like, ha.
They are so yummy Janice....
You don't need to be a cook or baker for this one Sheila. Really.
Way to jump right in Juli! Let me know what you think.
For sure you have to show him Kathy. LOL. Easy, easy, easy to make.
Mmmmmm, my mouth is watering - just like the other 'Sally' in your life!
Sounds like the perfect combo of salty and sweet! Great gift idea too!
Shar, sounds like a great idea! I'm sure the boys in my house will love it!
You mean drool Sally? LOL
They are addicting Sharon, so bad because of that.
I think they will Linda!
Hi Shar--not fair! I have not had dinner yet and these are just making my mouth water. Great recipe. I love pretzels so will have to try these--but probably not for dinner.
hi Shar ~ I love pretzels, but cinnamon is one of my favorite spices and the combination of the two sounds delicious! Just the other day I was in my favorite grocery store and they had samples to give out ... peanut butter with cinnamon & tiny raisins in it ... yummy!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us --- and have a very Happy New Year!!
Oh Shar, that sounds really good, but after all the crap I ate over Christmas I am determined to not eat any more goodies,... no,... I just cannot,... well,... maybe just one,...
Hope you have an amazing New Years!
They are good anytime Janet, even breakfast! ;)
They are delicious Maureen....and dangerous! Happy New Year!
I hear you Laura.....and I am still eating on vacation!! Happy New Year to you!
Shar: Not since sea salt coated chocolate caramels have I read a recipe that sounds so good. Salt (my favourite thing) plus sugar and cinnamon. The pretzels seem to be there only to hold the salt and sugar coating together. Yum Yum. Thank you.
I love chocolate dipped pretzels, so I'll have to give these a try too. Not this week because I starting back on my program and would be too tempted to eat more than a few. They sound yummy! Happy New Year Shar!
