White Chocolate Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

I love the blog: Six Sisters' Stuff. 

They have amazing ideas for meals, crafts, traditions, etc.

When I saw the post for these pretzels, they were simply too tempting not to make.

I realized I already had all the ingredients --- and then it was just a matter of when to make them. 

I made them while Olivia ate her dinner. Yes, they are that quick and easy. My daughter is one finicky eater these days, and before she started to fuss, the pretzels were done! 

I gave them to some of our neighbors for Christmas in some darling tins I found at the dollar store.

I love dollar stores.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 bag of pretzels (16-18 oz

2/3 cup oil (I used vegetable oil)

1/3 cup sugar

1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

1     Whisk together oil, sugar, and cinnamon. 

2     Pour pretzels into a microwave safe bowl and pour oil mixture in.  Stir until coated.

       Microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir.  Microwave 45 seconds more. 

4     Spread pretzels evenly onto two cookie sheets covered in parchment paper.

5     While still warm, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously. 

6     Melt white chocolate (on low heat, be careful not to burn) and drizzle over cooled pretzels. 

7     Store in an airtight container.

Rolo Pretzels with Peanut Butter M&M's

Rolo Pretzels with Peanut Butter M&M's De.Li.Cious.

Okay...so here I am thinking I am all sorts of creative...only to find this picture online...someone else was creative before me. :) And they have a far better camera as well. :) Here's the recipe, and be prepared, you'll be tempted to eat them all in one sitting.

Ingredients: 

• Rolos
• Mini Pretzels
• Peanut Butter M&M's
• an salty/sweet addiction

Directions:

Heat oven to 300 degrees F. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I used my silpat). Place mini pretzels on the baking sheet and top each one with a Rolo (unwrapped of course). I fit 70 pretzels on one baking sheet. Put them in the oven for 4 minutes - just long enough for the Rolos to soften but NOT melt. They should kind of glisten ooey gooey chocolatey goodness. Press a Peanut Butter M&M into each Rolo candy. 

Let cool on a cooling rack until they set. I waited just until the baking sheet cooled and then stuck the pan in the fridge to expedite the "setting" process. After about an hour, I pulled them out and let them return to room temperature. That's just personal preference - you can eat them warm, or wait for them to set at room temperature. Be sure to store them in an air tight container afterwards.

I kept a tin just for me and Aaron (mostly me), and then took the rest to the women I visit teach. I am oh so tempted to make more...just because I can. Enjoy!
