Not sure why, but I’ve been extra snacky lately. Sometimes it’s sweet snacks, sometimes it’s salty snacks, but it’s always crunchy. And preferably something I can eat by the handful without feeling too bad about it. So… piles of cookies are out of the question. Pretzels, on the other hand, are perfect.
For my sister’s birthday party, she made Ranch flavored pretzels to put out. As I inhaled a ridiculous amount of them (and watched everyone else around me do that same), I thought about making my own. Honey mustard pretzels are always something I’ve enjoyed, but it’s so gross to look down the ingredients list in the store. Plus, I’ve never found them I whole wheat form, so I just don’t get them.
I’m really stretching it here, trying to talk about pretzels for three very short paragraphs, so I’ll just stop now. Buy your favorite plain pretzels — doesn’t matter if they’re gluten free or whole wheat, sticks or twists — some yellow mustard, and some sort of liquid natural sweetener. Turn on your oven, and BAM. Delicious pretzels snacks.

[…] important quality for me in a snack. I love making flavored pretzels at home (See Vegan Ranch and Sweet Mustard!) so when a craving struck for something spicy and reallllly garlicky, I knew just what to make. […]
These look so good. I have a question — they are tagged as gluten-free and soy-free, but I’ve never seen pretzels that are both gluten-free AND soy-free. What brand do you use? I’d love to find some, as my son is celiac and my daughter can’t have soy.
I’m not gluten free or soy free personally, so I don’t check 100% of the time for overlap (so sometimes if you take the gluten free option, they’re not still soy free, dairy free, etc). That being said, I found this option online for a pretzel that’s both soy and gluten free. Hope it helps!

[…] delicious. My sister made amazing flavored pretzels with them (recipe Friday!) that inspired my sweet mustard pretzels. It’s also great if you sprinkle it into a breading when faux frying, or even a pinch when […]
these sound great, so do the ranch pretzels…how do you make those?
Kathy, I don’t have a recipe for those yet. She used a powdered ranch mix and I’m working to make one that just uses spices. I tried to do a quick Google search but didn’t find any that matched up very well. I’ll get working on them ASAP 🙂
wow! l totally love this pretzels!
Yum! This is a perfect snack to make and not feel too guilty over!
Oh man, I would be forced to eat SO MANY OF THESE.
You are killing me, Kelly!! I seriously want to make EVERYTHING you have been posting lately ;). How perfect would these be for a Super Bowl party??
