I am back for the October Dessert Share-Fest with another seriously addicting sweet snack mix. These Cinnamon Sugar Coated Pretzels with White Chocolate Drizzle have been a big hit at parties and potlucks I have attended. You can use colored red or green sugar to create an extra festive holiday mix too.
The cinnamon sugar coats the pretzels and then an additional layer is added after baking to really pump up the flavor. Be warned though, these little pretzels can be quite addicting. The first time I made them, hubby was away on travel and I raved and raved about them. And when he got home, there were none left. Ooops!
Frequently asked questions:
I love to make these as a simple snack. I just leave them on the counter and graze as I please! They also make adorable Christmas gifts individually wrapped in plastic bags or mason jars. You can make a party mix by adding nuts, chocolate candies, and dehydrated marshmallows. They are also really delicious crushed up on vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel.
Coconut oil will work as well as butter or any other oil you prefer to use. It’s mainly to make the cinnamon sugar adhere to the pretzels better so you don’t lose all that yummy flavor. Just be sure to avoid any oil that has an overpowering flavor like olive oil
Cinnamon sugar pretzels should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for at least a couple weeks this way.
Pro tip: Pipe the white chocolate with an icing bag or a ziplock bag with the tip snipped off if you would like a nice even stream. I haven’t yet organized my kitchen from the move so I couldn’t find it and, thus, a spoon works but it creates some globs. I kind of like the trashy look though.
Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels with White Chocolate
Ingredients
- 8 oz pretzels 1 medium bag
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 3 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- Parchment Paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a very large bowl or soup pot, whisk together oil, ¼ cup sugar, and 2 tsp cinnamon. Stir in pretzels until well coated.
- Lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spread pretzels out in a single layer. This will probably take more than 1 cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes, turning once half way through. While baking, whisk remaining sugar and cinnamon. After pretzels are done baking, but still warm, sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over top. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate in microwave at 30 second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth. If white chocolate is too thick, add 1-2 tsp of oil. Drizzle over pretzels using a spoon or a icing bag. After chocolate has hardened, transfer to an airtight container.

These look absolutely…I can not wait to try these…Pinning now. Could I use a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat, or should I stick with parchment paper?
Rachel says
I have had this recipe before I purchased my silpats and I wish I had thought of that! I am sure that the silpat would work great in place of parchment paper.

My girls love making chocolate covered pretzels and the cinnamon sugar sounds like a great addition to an already favorite treat.
Rachel says
The cinnamon sugar really does kick it up a notch. And colored sugar makes it so festive looking.
Amanda @ The Kolb Corner says
These look so yummy! I love white chocolate and pretzels. Adding cinnamon and sugar is just the icing on top!
Rachel says
Oh these bad boys are so addicting. I love white chocolate and pretzels too but the cinnamon sugar is definitely worth the extra effort (and calories)!
