Ingredients

1 bag pretzels (mini or snap pretzels work best) 16 to 19 ounces
1 cup melted butter
¾ cup brown sugar
3 TBS bourbon (or 1 TBS vanilla)
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red (cayenne) pepper or more

Instructions

Combine everything but the pretzels in a large mixing bowl and stir until fully incorporated.
Add pretzels to the bowl and toss until they are all coated.
Place pretzels onto 2 parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes, stirring a couple times as they bake. Also rotate the trays.
After 20-25 minutes, pretzels will have absorbs most of the liquid. Remove from oven, and allow to cool completely.
Some pretzels will stick together (they are my favorites).
Once fully cooled, keep in an air-tight container like a large mason jar or gallon bag until ready to enjoy.

Notes

For a harder crunchier pretzel, first place the pretzels onto 2 parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Feel free to halve this recipe as it does make a lot. If making a whole batch, I store in 2 separate large mason jars (or containers) so as I go in and snack the other half remains airtight keeping them fresher for longer.

These Weck Jars are super cute for packaging these pretzels up in. This is a large one, however they also have smaller jars.

These are the jars I usually keep mine in, as well as using them for lots of other things.

Or use simple bags like these or these. They are super cost-effective especially if giving to co-workers or bringing to cookie swaps.

Serving size was calculated at approximately 16 mini coated pretzels per serving.
