 These Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pretzels made with cinnamon brown sugar are so easy to make at home and are the perfect sweet and salty snack. 

These Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pretzels are so easy to make at home and have just the right amount of sweet to be called a dessert.

While my mom was in town, we took advantage of the gorgeous Spring weather and headed about an hour north to the outlet mall in Tannersville, PA.

I know I've mentioned that NJ is the mall capital of the world, but 95% of our malls are indoors and it was just too nice not to be outside.

This particular mall is similar to a mall that we visit when we're in FL called Ellenton Premium Outlets. It has a wide variety of stores all in one location with separate store entrances from the outside.

I always gravitate towards the food/kitchen/cooking stores and lucky for me, my family shares the same passion.

We stepped into one of those such stores and my husband found these Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pretzel Pieces. When we tried them later that night, they were so good I decided to replicate the recipe at home. 

These Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pretzels have just the right amount of salty and sweet crunch to satisfy that dessert craving. This recipe is SO EASY! Four ingredients. Ready in 15 minutes and delicious! ~Enjoy!

Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pretzels

Ingredients Needed

For this recipe you'll need:

  • hard sourdough pretzels
  • salted butter
  • light brown sugar
  • ground cinnamon

A bowl of Sugar and Cinnamon Pretzels

How do you make Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pretzels?

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; then break apart the pretzels into bite sized pieces. You can also use the sourdough pretzel nubs. 

Add the butter, sugar and cinnamon to a small pot and heat over low heat until the butter has melted. Add the broken pretzel pieces to a bowl; then top with melted butter mixture. Mix well to coat.

Place the pretzels on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Store in an air tight container for up to one week. That's it!

    I agree that sweet and salty combinations are the best. I am looking forward to trying this soon since my kids always seems to open a packet of pretzels and not finish it.
