Oh my gosh, I’d be munching on that all day. It sounds incredible.
Sounds and looks yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Lets have some fun. Take the test Your Snacks Personality and find out which of these snacks do you prefer? I have taken the test and enjoyed a lot. Hope you too will enjoy it. Have Fun!!
WONDERFUL idea! I am so not a baker but these seemed easy enough. The store was sold out of white chocolate so I bought chocolate chips & peanut butter chips to do a Reese version. Here’s my issue…how did you drizzle the chocolate in such thin lines?? Mine kept dropping in clumps, haha. Oh well, they’re not as pretty but they are so yummO, thanks!
I made these this morning as gifts for my neighbors and they are delicious and very easy to make! Thank you for sharing the recipe; it’s a keeper!
Thanks for linking back to me!
Anyone try a non-microwave version? I got rid of my microwave years ago but would like to try these.
I, too, don’t use a microwave anymore. I would think you could turn on the oven to 350* and just bake the pretzels for a short period, stir, and bake some more. I think the only difference would be that it’s not as quick to complete start to finish. That’s what I’m going to try! Hope that helps.
Just found this recipe and made this, along with clean up in 15 mins! Quick and easy…and really good!!!

Silly question….is the cinnamon sugar something you buy with the regular sugar or is it just a combination of granulated sugar and some cinnamon?
You can buy it pre-made, but it is just a combo of sugar and cinnamon that I mixed together! 🙂
This looks so yummy! I just tried making it today and my only problem was, after I drizzled on the melted white chocolate and let it harden, I used a large spatula to lift them all up and put in a container but all the drizzles of white chocolate just fell off and wouldn’t stay on! Wondering where I went wrong. I used Ghirardelli’s Classic White Baking Chips. I’m wondering if they are not really white chocolate? Any help would be appreciated Six Sisters. The pretzels are very yummy even though the chocolate didn’t stick.
I just don’t know why this would happen? I have had that happen on other things that I have made, and I would say that it’s from cheap chocolate, but you used the same chocolate that I did! Ha ha! I really have no idea! -The Six Sisters
Hi. This was an amazing recipe! I just want to know how you drizzled the white chocolate because mine stayed pretty solid, making it pretty hard to drizzle evenly.
Do u use hard or soft pretzels
Hi Jackie, we use the hard pretzels that you would find on the potato chip aisle in the grocery store.
I melt my chips in microwave in my glass measuring cup. I add about half to one teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out. I then pour it into a baggie and snip a tiny corner to drizzle. Hope that helps!
I put mine in a ziplock back and snip a small part of the corner off. Super easy to drizzle and not have clumps.
These taste incredible, although they’re not dry yet. That is my question: how long do I let them dry until storing?
Just until the white chocolate sets up. Maybe an hour or so.
