This recipe hooked me a man! My fiance and I worked together, and he would make a regular stop at my desk to "steal" these pretzels from my candy jar. The rest is history. Possible variations of the recipe below: Variation: Mix in one or both of the following with step 1: 1/4 teaspoons lemon pepper. 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Alternative: Use 16 oz. plain oyster crackers instead of pretzels. Bake at 275 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Drain and cool on brown paper bag or paper towels before storing.

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

  • 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

My sister served these just last week at a party, and although hers were called "Stinky Pretzels" the recipe is just about the same. I love these!!! I also like the idea of adding parmesan cheese to this. Great tip!!!
