Tips for Recipe Success

Ensure each pretzel is evenly coated with both the popcorn oil and the seasoning mix. This guarantees a burst of flavor in every bite.

If you decide to bake yours, low and slow baking is key. The low oven temperature might seem unusual, but it’s crucial for allowing the flavors to infuse without burning the pretzels. Be patient, the result is worth it.

Store Properly

To maintain freshness, store the seasoned pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay crisp and delicious for several days up to a week.
