Ingredients:
1 bag (12 oz) pretzel rods or sticks
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the drizzle (optional):
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening
Directions:
Prepare the workspace:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the pretzel sticks evenly across the sheet.
Coat the pretzels:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until fully mixed and smooth. Toss the pretzel sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each one is evenly coated.
Bake for a golden crunch:
Arrange the coated pretzels back onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the sheet.
Add a sweet drizzle (optional):
Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pretzels. Allow the drizzle to set before serving.
Serve and enjoy:
Transfer the pretzel sticks to a serving platter or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. These sweet and crunchy treats are great for snacking or gifting!

Two Tips for Success:
For an extra festive touch, sprinkle colorful sugar or edible glitter onto the pretzels while the chocolate drizzle is still wet.
To prevent sticking, cool the pretzels completely before transferring them to a container.
