Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter, molasses, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat in 15-second intervals until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Add the mini pretzels to the molasses mixture, stirring gently to coat all the pretzels evenly.

Step 4

Spread the coated pretzels on a microwave-safe plate in a single layer. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips, on top.

Step 5

Microwave the pretzels on high for 1 minute. Stir the pretzels and microwave for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking to ensure they do not burn.

Step 6

Remove the plate and let the pretzels cool for 2-3 minutes. The coating will harden as they cool, creating a delicious sweet-and-salty crust.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
