Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, and set aside.
Pour 15 oz. pretzel twists into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Add 8 tablespoons unsalted butter to a saucepan. Measure in the 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning blend, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it bubble for a minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and pour the butter mixture over the pretzel twists in the large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently toss everything together until all the pretzels are coated in the Cajun seasoning mixture.
Transfer the pretzels to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pretzels for 25-30 minutes, gently stirring them with a heat-safe spoon or spatula every 10 minutes to ensure all parts of the pretzels bake and do not burn.
Please keep an eye on your pretzels because if your oven is running hot, they can and will burn!
When the pretzels have baked for the allotted time and no longer appear wet, remove from the oven, and let cool completely. This will take 20-45 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
