Warning : these pretzels, once bitten will forever change your life. You will quickly grow to rely on making a batch every week, if you are lucky to have them last that long! xoxo abby
I like these pretzels with a KICK! Give me all of the spice. If you do not want these as spicy, simply use only 1/2 a tsp of cayenne pepper –
All you need …
- 1 Bag of Pretzel Twists (16oz bag)
- 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
- 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- Handful of brown sugar for topping, explained below
Pre heat the oven to 250* Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cayenne and garlic until butter is completely melted and you’ve whisked everything so that it is fully incorporated.
Split the bag of pretzels between the two baking sheets, pour the spiced butter sauce over each pan of pretzels. Use a spatula to toss together, until the pretzels are completely coated. Lastly, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over the tops of the sticky pretzels
Bake at 250* for 10 minutes, stir a bit and bake an additional 10 minutes
The pretzels will not change in color, the brown sugar will bubble a bit. Pull the baking sheets out of the oven and let sit on for 20 or so minutes. Stir the pretzels up with your hands to break apart the sugar that has crystalized (the yummiest part1) and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
