Ingredients
Pretzels – We like to use pretzels twist but you can use sticks. Salted works best but you can use unsalted pretzels, it just won’t be as sweet and salty.
Butter – Go with unsalted since the pretzels already have plenty of salt on them. You can also use coconut oil or vegetable oil.
Cinnamon & Sugar – The combination of these two is what makes the pretzels so delicious.
