    10 Bavarian pretzel sticks
  • Slice each of the warmed up Bavarian pretzel sticks diagonally into fourths.
  • Put a few tablespoons of butter in a microwave safe bowl, cover with a paper plate or paper towel, and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to let the butter finish melting.
    4 oz butter
  • Using a basting brush, brush the diagonally cut pretzel bites and return to the air fryer for another minute. If using the conventional oven, return to the 300 F oven for another 3 minutes.
  • Pour the prepared cinnamon sugar for pretzels into a plastic bag. Using tongs, toss in 6 to 8 toasted pretzel bits into the bag and shake to coat with the cinnamon sugar. Repeat to cover all the pretzel bites.
  • Serve immediately with our Bailey's Chocolate Ganache as a dip.

Notes

  • Don't over cook, you want your pretzel bites to still be soft, not too crunchy.
  • Make cinnamon sugar up in advance in a pint mason jar! You will use it all year long on toast, pretzel bites, to sprinkling on frosted cookie tops!
  • Use our Bailey's Chocolate Ganache as a dip for your cinnamon pretzel bites.
