white chocolate cinnamon pretzels

I love sweet and salty snacks. It almost completely satisfies two cravings at once, which is always a win. As a bonus, you don't even need to turn on the oven to complete these. I melted my chocolate on the stove top, but you could even melt the chocolate in the microwave.

I know this sounds weird, and I was skeptical at first about the amount of oil, but this is the perfect amount for the 1 lb bag of pretzels.

Don't forget about the extra cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling later.

The cook time for this recipe is so short, but the wait at the end is unbearable! I kept walking over and poking the white chocolate to see if it was cooled.

I will admit to a mistake here- or maybe an afterthought that would have helped. As soon as I had completed the second trip in the microwave, I dumped the warm pretzels onto the parchment paper. A better idea would have been to stir them one more time to re-coat any of the oil that slid to the bottom of the bowl. That way, when you dump the pretzels out, you don't have a puddle of oil at the bottom of the paper.

Drizzle, drizzle! I used 1/2 a bag of white chocolate chips- about 8 oz. if you can buy them in bulk.
