Ingredients
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 6 cups mini pretzels
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Whisk together the vanilla, maple syrup, and brown sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add your pretzels to a large mixing bowl along with the maple syrup mixture. Toss until the pretzels are evenly coated.
- Transfer your pretzels to a 9x13 inch baking sheet covered in parchment paper, for easy cleanup, and cook for 12 minutes. Carefully adjust pretzels at 6 minute mark.
- Let your pretzels cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving bowl. Enjoy!
Notes
- Spread evenly: Prevents clumping.
- Use pure maple syrup: Provides richer flavor compared to artificial syrup.
- Don’t skip whisking well: Fully dissolves sugar for a smooth coating.
- Toss pretzels thoroughly: Ensures every piece is evenly coated.
- Bake in a single layer: Don’t overcrowd pan and allow proper caramelization for crisp results.
- Adjust halfway through baking: Prevents clumping and uneven coating.
- Watch closely near the end: Sugar can burn quickly if overbaked.
- Cool completely before storing: Helps pretzels crisp up properly.
- Break apart clusters gently: These pretzels will stick together a little bit as they cool. That is normal.
