HG's Sweet 'n Cinn-ful Pretzel Swap

Healthier_Me

The Sweetest Cinn
No need to sneer at the people chomping on hot, buttery, sugar-coated pretzels at the mall anymore. Now you can whip up your very own shopping-mall-quality soft pretzels in your kitchen (yes, we see the humor in that sentence). So if it's chewy, doughy, sweet, decadent pretzels you crave, feel free to cave -- and indulge in HG's latest tasty creation. Just dough it.



Ingredients:

1 2.25-oz. SUPERPRETZEL soft pretzel (from the 6-count frozen package) OR another frozen soft pretzel**

1 tbsp. SPLENDA, Granular

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. salt (NOT the entire salt packet that comes with the pretzels)

10 sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray



Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl mix Splenda, cinnamon and salt; set aside. Spray a small baking pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place pretzel on pan and bake for 2 minutes. Remove pretzel and spray each side evenly with butter spray (5 sprays per side). Next, cover entire pretzel with Splenda/cinnamon/salt mixture. Bake for an additional 6 minutes (flipping halfway through). Enjoy!

Auntie Anne's Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel

Twisted Cinn-ster!
Oh, Auntie Anne. We're sure you're a lovely human who has many friends and many family members who enjoy you, but we can't help but resent you for making those fatty pretzels. And, quite frankly, the incredibly tempting smell of your 450-calorie, 9-gram-of-fat Cinnamon Sugar ones is a bit much for us to handle on our shopping mall excursions. You left us no alternative -- we HAD to find a way to make a guilt-free version at home. So we did! Try HG's Sweet 'n Cinn-ful Pretzel Swap. And people, the next time you're at the mall, spend your time drooling over shoes, not pretzels.

Serving Size: 1 pretzel with butter (automatically comes dipped in butter unless specially ordered)
