Ingredients
Pretzels and Butter
- 4 soft pretzel sticks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Cook Pretzels: Arrange the 4 soft pretzel sticks in the air fryer basket and cook them at 320°F for 2 minutes to warm them.
- Prepare Pretzel Bites: Remove the pretzels from the air fryer and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Brush the bites generously with melted unsalted butter. Return them to the air fryer and cook for an additional 1 minute to crisp slightly and set the butter.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the pretzels cook, in a small bowl, combine the 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
- Coat the Pretzel Bites: As soon as the pretzel bites come out of the air fryer, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over them to ensure a sweet, flavorful coating.
- Serve Warm: Serve the soft cinnamon sugar pretzel bites warm, optionally accompanied by chocolate sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to control the sweetness and salt level of the pretzels.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, add an extra minute to air frying after brushing with butter.
- Chocolate sauce or caramel dip pairs excellently for dipping these pretzels.
- For a lower sugar option, reduce the granulated sugar quantity or substitute with a sugar alternative.
- Be sure to coat the pretzels immediately after air frying so the cinnamon sugar sticks well.
