It has been on my list of things to make & I just kept putting it off. I just kept bumping down on my list hoping the craving would go away – because they are ohhhhh so good.

But the craving didn’t go away. In fact, I just started craving cinnamon like crazy.

So I knew I just had to bite the bullet & do it. You know what? I’m oh so happy I did because they were DELICIOUS!! I enjoyed every bite & so did the family. Now I can share them all with you!

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use rapid yeast?

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. I usually use whatever I have on hand at the time.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.

Sugar Pretzel Bites

How many can this serve?

This recipe makes about 60-65 bites. So it is great for game day for our family of 5 with some leftover. But I have to say, it is hard to stop once you start eating them – so you might want more.

Oh……..I also made a cream cheese dip to go with them.

Ooooey-gooey yumminess overload is what that is!!!

Incredible!!! I’m already craving them again!

Can this recipe be doubled?

Absolutely! That is a lot of pretzel bites, but if you have a bunch of large appetites – this is great for doubling Just watch the size of the bowl, this does fill the mixer.

HOW DO YOU MAKE Cinnamon & Sugar Pretzel Bites?

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper- set aside.
3. Combine the milk into the mixer bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top.
4. Add the corn syrup and stir gently with a fork. Allow yeast to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
5. Once it is nice and foamy, it is ready. Add the flour and salt to the mixer.
6. Knead the mixture with a dough hook until the dough comes together in one ball.
7. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, as needed- the dough should be tacky- not sticky.
8. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and form it into a ball.
9. Using a pastry cutter or butter knife- cut the dough ball into 60-65 equal pieces. The easiest way to do this is to quarter the ball of dough and continue quartering the pieces until you have about 65 bite-sized pieces.
10. Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
11. Carefully, add baking soda to the boiling water, just a little sprinkle at a time. CAUTION: IT WILL BOIL RAPIDLY.
12. Place dough pieces into boiling water, about 10-15 at a time.
13. Remove with a slotted spoon after 30 seconds.
14. Place the boiled dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all bites have been boiled.
15. Arrange all dough pieces so they are not touching.
16. Bake for 7-9 minutes until the tops are browned.

What about the Cinnamon and Sugar Coating?

1. In a small bowl, melt butter for the coating.
2. Combine cinnamon & sugar to another small bowl.
3. Remove bites from oven & immediately add several at a time to the bowl of melted butter and toss to coat. Then transfer the coated pieces to the cinnamon/sugar mixture to coat.
4. Return to the baking sheet while you work on repeating the process with remaining bites.

HOW DO YOU MAKE the Cream Cheese Icing Dip?

1. Combine confectioners sugar, cream cheese, butter and milk in the mixer bowl & beat until smooth.
2. Store any unused dip in the refrigerator.

What is the best way to store leftover pretzel bites?

I find that refrigeration tends to make the sugar coating a bit soggy. This is also true with airtight containers.

So I like to place them in a paper sack closely loosely. Just keep them on the counter or in the pantry for up to 2 days. If you prefer, you can reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to make them soft again before serving.
