Move over Chex mix there is a new snack in town. Buttery, spicy, savory pretzels. These Dot’s inspired spicy pretzels will become a family favorite with just one bite.
Good morning friends, today I have an easy and delicious spicy pretzel recipe that you are going to love. These Dot’s inspired pretzels will become a family favorite this holiday season.
I grew up making Check mix at the holidays and although I like it I think there is always room for something new on the snack table. Move over Chex mix there is a new snack in town.
Homemade gifts and treats for family and friends are great anytime but especially at the holidays.
This Spicy Pretzel recipe is perfect to make in large batches to give away, add to gift baskets, or to have around for holiday parties, family gatherings, and game day too.
You could also just make a big batch for yourself to enjoy while watching holiday movies.

I can't recall the last time I had any pretzels.
One year I made all homemade goods in baskets for Xmas gifts. I think now they'd be more appreciated.
