Description

This Copycat Auntie Anne's Sweet Glaze dip is the real glossy vanilla dipping sauce from the mall, made at home in 5 minutes with just 3 ingredients. Smooth, sweet, and perfect for dunking warm cinnamon sugar pretzel bites — with the exact ratio to get the consistency right every time.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1½ Tbsp milk or heavy cream, plus more to thin
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp light corn syrup, optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt, optional
  • 1/2 Tbsp butter, optional, melted

Instructions

  • Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl.
  • Add 1 Tbsp milk, vanilla, and any optional ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add more milk a few drops at a time until the glaze ribbons off the whisk. Keep it thicker for dunking, thinner for drizzling.
  • Serve slightly warm with warm cinnamon sugar pretzel bites.

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Spoon

Notes

  • Lumpy powdered sugar = grainy glaze. Sift it.
  • Add liquid gradually — it's easy to thin, hard to thicken.
  • Stores in the fridge up to 1 week; whisk in a splash of milk to revive.
