Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Mini pretzels
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, whiskey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly whisk in the baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal and helps coat the pretzels evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mini pretzels. Pour the whiskey glaze over the pretzels and gently toss until all the pretzels are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating and crisping.
Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the whiskey pretzels to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
