Well, I can officially say that I married a genius. I know, you really shouldn’t brag, and don’t worry he does have his faults. Like how he cannot seem to leave his hair alone. Yes, I’m married to the man that walks past a mirror on our way out the door and he has to stop and fix it, again. It’s ridiculous. But, when I said I was going to send pretzels with the little one in her school he said, “Churro pretzels!” Pretty much we fell in love all over again in that moment. *sigh*
Seriously though, how totally awesome is Cade for thinking up this combo?! We already love these cinnamon sugar pretzels that are so addicting we had to stop making them so much or we would never leave the house, and we adore this darn churro chex mix that we like to refer to as, “Sweet Deliciousness”. So logically the next step was to combine the two and bam! Heaven in a bag.
You all do know that my heaven will be filled with food, right? And of course everything will be zero calories. Oh, and sleep. Heaven will also include sleep. Wait, one more. I will also get to take a long, hot shower all by myself without any children knocking at the door. Boo-Yah.
Did you chime in on that little conversation we had on facebook? It was so fun to hear that pretty much every mom out there (and some dads!) gave an, “Amen”. Rest in peace private shower and restroom break. I hope we meet again in the after life or once my children are grown.
In the meantime I’m going to sit back and eat another bag of these once I’ve shut the bedroom door and escaped downstairs after bedtime. YES!

Hi! I’m new to your blog. I’m interested in trying these out. Until I find cinnamon chips, what do you think about butterscotch chips? Would you still add cinnamon or would you try another spice? Thanks!
Hmmmm, I don’t know that anything will really work very well as a sub because the flavor will be so different. You could try white chocolate and then proceed as normal. Then you would at least have the cinnamon sugar and the white chocolate wont add a new flavor in
How awesome of a snack would these make whenever I want one? I think I should store some in my bag for that mid afternoon walking down the street hunger!
Heck yes! I agree!
Woah — what a great idea!

Holy amazing!! I would have trouble resisting eating the entire batch!

Oh my gosh! I love churros. These look delicious!
Your hubby IS a genius! These pretzels look seriously SO good! Crunchy and sweet and so addictive!!!
Fairly certain I would hide in a corner with these.
Oh, and I did!
