Cinnamon White Chocolate Pretzels are the easiest and the yummiest Christmas treat ever!  They are a favorite I make every year.

Some of my other favorite holiday treats to give away include these Soft Caramels, White Chocolate Popcornand Rocky Road Fudge.

Cinnamon Pretzels

Do you have your holiday baking done yet?  No?  Don’t stress any longer I have you covered.  White Chocolate Cinnamon Pretzels are the perfect solution.  They are quick, there is no baking involved (only the microwave), they are super fast to make and they are DELICIOUS!!  I can’t stop eating these things and I only end up giving away half of what I make because I personally, by myself, eat the other half!!

I first tasted these pretzels when I purchased a bag from a gift shop in Utah years ago.  They had an amazing selection of different flavored popcorn and pretzels.  My favorite, and the one I always buy a bag or two of is their White Chocolate Cinnamon pretzels.  I love them!

So of course, I had to see if I could figure out a way to make them at home.  After a little research, I came across this recipe over at cd kitchen and used it as a starting place.  I changed it a bit and they turned out perfect!  They tasted exactly like the ones I had bought!

Cinnamon White Chocolate Pretzel Ingredients

• Pretzels. I use the small twisty variety.
• White Chocolate. You can use almond bark, melts or white chocolate chips.
• Vegetable Oil
• Cinnamon Sugar

The only other thing you need is a large plastic bowl that will fit in your microwave.

How to Make Cinnamon White Chocolate Pretzels

• Place pretzels in microwave safe bowl.

• Mix together oil, sugar and cinnamon in small bowl
• Pour mixture over pretzels and mix well, making sure to coat pretzels
• Place bowl in microwave for 2 minutes on high. Check after first minute to make sure they aren’t burning.
• Stir the mixture and continue cooking
• Microwave for 1 minute more
• Stir again after you take them out of the microwave to make sure they are all coated
• Spread the pretzels onto two cookie sheets in a single layer.
• Sprinkle with some additional cinnamon sugar while they are still hot.

• Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of pretzels
• Once white chocolate hardens put into air tight container.

I made a batch on Sunday when we were snowed and iced in and church was cancelled.  We are now on our third day of snow and ice (very unusal for Portland) and school has been cancelled for three days!  As a result, I now need to make another batch to give away to friends as I have managed to munch my way through a good part of the batch I made on Sunday!!

Then if you haven’t eaten them all, wrap them up in a little cellophane bag, tie some ribbon and share with friends.

How Long Will the Pretzels Last?

When stored in an airtight container they can last for several weeks and make a great make ahead holiday treat.
