Ingredients List

4 cups pretzels: Mini pretzels work best for even coating and baking.
1/4 cup buffalo sauce: Use your preferred brand or homemade for a personal touch.
2 tablespoons melted butter: Adds richness and helps the sauce adhere to the pretzels.
1 tablespoon honey: Balances the spiciness of the buffalo sauce.
1 teaspoon garlic powder: Enhances the savory flavor.
1/2 teaspoon onion powder: Adds depth to the seasoning.
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional): For extra heat.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the sauce: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Coat the pretzels: Add the pretzels to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the buffalo sauce mixture.
Spread on a baking sheet: Transfer the coated pretzels to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Cool: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh buffalo sauce and high-quality pretzels will enhance the overall flavor.
Customize the Heat: Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the cayenne pepper and hot sauce to match your heat tolerance.
Experiment with Pretzel Shapes: While mini pretzels are standard, you can try pretzel sticks, twists, or even large pretzels for variety.
Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ensure you don’t overbake the pretzels. Stir them halfway through baking to prevent burning and achieve an even crunch.
Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the pretzels while they’re still slightly warm after cooling.
