Peanut Butter & Ganache Dip

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Coating preparation

Prepare your powdered sugar coating first. Place the powdered sugar in a large container and add cinnamon. This should be added to your liking. It can be excluded, also.2

Pillsbury Bread stick preparation

Add an inch or 1.5 inches of oil to a high lipped pan and let it heat on Med to Med-high. Once the oil is hot open the can of Pillsbury bread sticks and pull them apart. Twist the bread sticks and lay them into the hot oil. The bread sticks will only take a minute or two to fry per side.  

Peanut Butter Ganache Dip preparation

Peanut Butter Ganache

Use a sauce pan set on Lo or Med-Lo. Pour the chocolate chips in the pan and let them melt slowly. While melting pour cream in slowly, and add the peanut butter into the melting concoction. The peanut butter will begin to smooth out, and create a rich peanut butter ganache dipping sauce for your pretzels. Watch it closely so it does not burn.

Coating  Pillsbury cinnamon sugar pretzels

Soon as the pretzels are golden brown remove them from the oil, and place them in the powdered sugar and cinnamon container. Put the lid on the container and shake it until your pretzels are covered. Repeat this process with all of the pretzels. Once finished, place them on a nice serving dish. 

Tips

LIsa's Pillsbury Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

• Open the Pillsbury bread sticks after the oil is hot. This ensures the bread sticks are still cold. They are very difficult to pull apart when warm.
• If the bread sticks are warm  and stretch too much, twist the loose ends together.3
• Fry the bread sticks in two batches.
• Use 1/2 of the sugar coating for the first batch, and the other 1/2 for the second batch.
• The bread sticks will cook quickly so have your spatula or slotted spoon handy.
