Leftovers and Storage
They stay fresh for a long time! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks.
Making these a great make ahead option for when you need an easy party snack. Or you can even package up in a mason jar with a ribbon for a simple gift.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can use thinner pretzels, such as mini pretzels. But I find that the spices stick better to thicker pieces so I find the sourdough to be a much better option.
You can very easily adjust the spice! The spice comes from the cayenne pepper, so you can easily use less or omit all together! As written, these are a medium spice level.
Feel free to experiment! You can add more or less of a given spice, or try adding other favorites! Ranch seasoning is another great addition!
