Mason Jar Gifts are such a cute and easy way to package almost any homemade treat. This year, my daughter will be bringing these Sweet’n Salty Pretzels to her lucky teachers and I’m going to share with you how you can treat the sweet & salty snack fans in your life to this tasty treat!
Sweet & Salty Pretzels in a Jar
I know I’m guilty of going into the Christmas season with grand ambitions in mind for what I’m going to make for everyone on my list… and then mid-December panic strikes as I realize I have maybe two gifts done and 20-something to go!
So, this year I resolved to stick with easy, simple DIYs that could be made with my 5 year old and packaged easily in mason jars, like our No-Sugar Banana Bread Mason Jar Gifts or these Homemade Spice Rubs & Mason Jar Cocktails we made for my grill-enthusiast brother.
No stress, no worrying about wrapping presents – just simple, homemade gifts that tray true to the heart of the holiday.
(Plus, who doesn’t love a truly indulgent and tasty gift!)
After the pretzels are gone, the recipient can clean out the jar and use it however they’d like!

Place the pretzels in a large bowl.
Melt the coconut oil and stir in the hot sauce.
Pour over the pretzels. Stir to coat.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and then sprinkle over the pretzels, stirring to coat.
Taste one pretzel to ensure you like the ratio of sweet and spicy/salty.

How long can you store them for?
Amanda Formaro says
They should be good in a covered container for a couple weeks.

These are awesome! My daughter said she could eat them all day! I used sriracha, and highly recommend using the coconut oil. Really added, albeit subtle, to the flavor. Thank you for sharing!!
Amanda Formaro says
So glad you enjoyed them Lisa! Thanks!
Lynn says
Instead of coconut oil can you use something else, another type of oil?
Amanda Formaro says
Yes, any neutral oil (like Canola) will work!
