Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites

Ok, so, I have to admit that I can be some what of an addict when it comes to pretty much any thing cinnamon sugar flavored, especially pretzels!! So of course I was beyond ecstatic when I was wasting my day away on Pinterest and found this recipe for, what else, pretzel bites.

Get off Your Butt and Bake! has great pictures and step by step directions for how she makes her bites. I had to make a little adjustment to her recipe and I unfortunately don't have great lighting and a nice camera. Nevertheless here is what I did to make my very own cinnamon sugar pretzel bites.

Cooking Ingredients:
1 small can refrigerated biscuits
butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Cooking Directions:
1. Boil a large pot of water to a slow boil. Cut biscuits into quarters. Toss biscuits into water for about 1 minute. Remove pieces with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel for a few seconds to cool.

2. Place cooled pieces on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven at 375 for 15 minutes until they are golden brown. In a small dish mix together sugar and cinnamon and set aside.



3. Remove pieces from oven and coat in melted butter. Roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture until completely coated. And you're ready to eat, nice and warm!



I also made the vanilla glaze which was super easy - just mix 1 cup powder sugar with 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
But, next time I'll leave out the vanilla extract or at least use a lot less because its flavor was too overwhelming.

So there you have it, your very own home made cinnamon sugar pretzel bites! The first couple of bites I could taste the biscuit flavor a little but I was probably just thinking too much about what I was eating. They may not win a taste test against Auntie Annie's, but they'll definitely satisfy my cinnamon sugar appetite. Plus they're easy to make and would be a great party snack!
