Ingredients Needed
Pretzels – I like the twist shapes personally, but use your favorite. Even pretzel nuggets.
Cinnamon – Use Saigon cinnamon for the best flavor.
Sugar – Regular white granulated sugar.
Coconut oil – This is a great vegan option if you don’t want to use butter or olive oil.
Peanuts – I like dry roasted peanuts but these are totally optional.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
First: Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and coconut oil. Stir until evenly mixed. In a separate bowl, mix pretzels and peanuts.
Second: Pour cinnamon sugar mixture over the pretzels and peanuts and toss to evenly coat. On a 9×13 baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat, pour the coated pretzels and spread into a single layer.
Third: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until sugar has dried or most of the moisture is gone, stirring half way through.
Fourth: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Enjoy!
