# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The seasoning mixture clings perfectly to every nook and cranny of the pretzels
  • They are ridiculously inexpensive to make compared to gourmet snack mixes
  • Everyone will assume you spent way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Low and slow baking is the secret to that restaurant style crunch without burning the seasoning
  • The pretzels might still feel slightly soft when you first take them out but they will crisp up as they cool
  • Stirring every 15 minutes is not optional, it prevents scorching and ensures even coverage
03 -
  • Use the largest mixing bowl you own, tossing pretzels in a cramped bowl creates a mess
  • Let the baking sheet cool completely before storing, any trapped heat will make them soggy
