How to Make Pumpkin Spice Pretzels
Making these pretzels are simple and easy. You just mix up your spice mix which is a combination of honey, pumpkin pie spice mix, and granulated sugar.
Once you do, mix 4 cups of mini pretzel twists with your spice mix and coat them well. Then pour it out on a baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes.
Then, let them cool for a bit so that the sugar and spice mix can harden on the pretzel.
Then, you can enjoy them any time of the day! Be careful though because you cannot eat just one. My daughter and started snacking on these and we finally had to make ourselves put them away because we wanted to eat them all.
You can make these pretzels ahead of time and store them in ziplock storage bags until you are ready to eat them. They hold up well and stay fresh for a couple of weeks.
Tips for Success
- Stir halfway through baking to prevent clumping.
- Let the pretzels cool completely for maximum crunch.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Add pecans or almonds for a fun fall snack mix.
