• How to make Sweet and Spicy Pretzels

Preheat your oven to 250degF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter, vanilla extract, and pretzels.

In a small bowl mix together sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until fully combined.

Pour sugar mixture over the pretzels and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sweet and spicy mixture.

Spread the coated pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Once the pretzels are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool.

As they cool, the coating will harden and become deliciously crunchy.

Enjoy them once cooled, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week (though they rarely last that long! ).
