How to Make Hot Pretzels

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Arrange 1 pound of pretzel nuggets in a large roasting pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of butter (melted), 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients evenly over the pretzels in the roasting pan, ensuring all pretzels are coated.
  5. Bake for 70 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  6. Once golden brown and heated through, carefully remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
