Directions
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on top to keep the pretzels elevated while baking. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper until well combined. Take each bacon slice and press both sides into the brown sugar mixture so it’s nicely coated. Wrap a slice of the coated bacon around each pretzel rod, leaving a little bit of the bottom bare so it’s easy to hold. Place the wrapped pretzels on the wire rack, making sure they’re spaced out. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Let them cool slightly before digging in!
Serving Ideas For Family Meals
Serve warm with a side of spicy mustard or cheese sauce for dipping. These are perfect for game day or as a fun appetizer at parties. Pair with a cold beer or your favorite soft drink to complete the experience.
How To Store This Recipe
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness instead of using a microwave, which can make the bacon soggy.
