Gift-worthy Snack Mix

     Sugary cinnamon meets salty pretzels in this super-easy snack mix which would be PERFECT as holiday gifts~ 
     And don't you just LOVE this unique way of packaging this (or any other snack!)?  The "bow" is a kitchen towel, twisted into a spiral and then attached to the cellophane bag.  Extra nice because it gives the recipient a "keepsake" after the goodies are gone!




Cinnamon Pretzels

2/3 C vegetable oil
1/2 C sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 (16 oz.) pkg. small pretzel twists

In a large roasting pan, stir together vegetable oil, sugar and cinnamon.  Add the pretzels; toss well to coat with cinnamon-sugar.  Bake, uncovered, in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes, stirring twice.  Spread on waxed paper to cool.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes 12 (1 cup) servings.

Microwave directions:  In a very large bowl, stir together vegetable oil, sugar and cinnamon.  Add pretzels; toss well to coat with cinnamon-sugar.  Place half of the pretzel mixture in a large microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave on 100% power (high) for 3 minutes, stirring every minute.  Spread on waxed paper to cool.  Repeat with the remaining pretzel mixture.
