I love a good snack recipe. Sure, there are plenty of readymade snacks available, but there’s something special about indulging in a treat that has a homemade touch. When I came across these Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Sticks, the first thing I thought of was the sweet smell of Auntie Anne’s cinnamon soft pretzels at the mall. It gets me every time. So, I knew if these pretzel sticks were at all similar to my favorite mall treat they were going to be a keeper. And they sure were!
You’ll start out this recipe by melting the butter and then letting it cool slightly. Next up, you’ll whisk an egg white and a little vanilla extract into the butter. The pretzels will get coated with the butter mixture and then sprinkled with a cinnamon and sugar dusting. The final step will be spreading the pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baking for about 15 minutes. Get ready for your kitchen to smell heavenly as they get all roasty-toasty! Now, the hardest part… letting the pretzels cool before digging in. Sure, you can go ahead and sneak a few, but they really are tastier once the sugary coating sets. It’s worth the wait!
