Delicious Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Soft Pretzels recipe coated in cinnamon sugar made from scratch and perfect for fall! Pumpkin season isn’t complete without these.

I hope you all are having a marvelous week so far.  I have a really fun Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Soft Pretzels recipe for you today. I know I’ve said it before, but I only like doing giveaways and/or product reviews on Wishes and Dishes for products that I actually use myself and feel strongly about.  I’m not going to tell you to go out and spend your money on something or waste your time entering a giveaway for something I don’t think is really 100% worth it.  Silpat mats are something I have been using in my kitchen since I first began my blog three years ago.  Other blogs I followed sung their praises time and time again and I had to see what all the hype was about.  I bought two right off the bat and now have FOUR (yes, a little excessive) Silpat baking mats including my new Perfect Pretzel mat which is what I’m giving away today.  The average person (I’m not the average person) would not need that many, but numerous mats really do come in handy when I’m baking many batches of cookies all at once, such as Christmas time.  Go big or go home.

Silpat Perfect Pretzel Silicone Baking Mat Giveaway

Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mats are made in France and are designed for every type of oven and are freezer safe, as well. From savory to pastry baking, nothing sticks to these mats….nothing. It is reusable for thousands of uses and provides even heat transfer to baked goods.  My cookies always pop right off and come out perfectly even on the bottom which never EVER happened prior to buying these mats.  They take the place of having to grease your pan/cookie sheets or use parchment paper – that alone is worth the price of the mats in the end.  They really are a kitchen lifesaver in so many ways, are easy to clean and I love that I can use them over and over!

The new Perfect Pretzel mat features pretzel-shaped guidelines to help home bakers lay out their dough in the classic pretzel shape, with consistent results.  The Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Soft Pretzels slid right off the mat after baking and you don’t have to worry about destroying them – always a good thing for me as I’m prone to kitchen disasters!  Anyone else?

Whether it’s Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Soft Pretzels, cookies, meatballs,….whatever…..this baby will make your baking endeavors a breeze.  The retail price of this mat I’m giving away is $24.99 – so you know it’s good stuff!

Another product I wanted to tell you about while I’m taking about my fave baking products is Welcome Home brand paper bakeware.  They have introduced a new and innovative way to cook in that paper bakeware eliminates the need for metal bakeware, as well as messy after baking clean-up (which is HUGE for me), making it easy for us all to “bake, serve, store, give, recycle”.  They are pretty to look at and come in multiple sizes of paper baking cups and open up fun, creative new options for sweet or savory tarts, breads, cookie cups, brownies, mini cakes, quiches and more. They are oven safe, and just need to be placed on a cookie sheet when baking.

Welcome Home Brand Paper Bakeware for the holidays for easy clean up or gifts.

They are the easiest way to bake, in my opinion.  All you have to do them is put them on a cookie sheet and bake away!  Wrap your delicious treats in cellophane and tie with a pretty ribbon for adorable gifts, especially for the holidays.  I was thinking that they would be really cute to use at a kid’s birthday party by letting each child decorate their own little cake.  They are the right size for just about anything you might want to bake when it comes to individual servings. I absolutely love them.  They have decorative bakeware for all the holidays!  Be sure to check them out.
