Quick, Easy and Delicious Pretzel Snacks
Two simple, crowd-pleasing recipes for homemade pretzel treats.
Rolo Pretzel Bites
Ingredients:
1 bag small pretzel-shaped pretzels (not sticks)
Rolo candies (one per pretzel)
Pecan halves or M&M’s for topping
Directions: Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet and place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°F (about 95°C) for 9 minutes, or until the candy softens. Remove from the oven and immediately press a pecan half or an M&M into the center of each Rolo. Let cool so the chocolate sets.
Tip: If you can find small square pretzels, they work especially well for this recipe.
Sweet Cinnamon Pretzel Nuggets
Ingredients:
1 package (15–18 oz) sourdough pretzel nuggets
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1–2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (to taste)
Directions: In a bowl, mix the vegetable oil, sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined. Pour the mixture over the pretzel nuggets, tossing gently to coat evenly. Transfer the coated pretzels to a microwave-safe dish and microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then continue microwaving in 1-minute increments, stirring after each minute, for an additional 3–4 minutes or until the oil is absorbed and the pretzels are evenly coated. Spread the pretzels out to cool and crisp.
Serving suggestion: These are great for snacking, party bowls, or homemade gifts when packed into a decorative bag.
