    My family is always in the mood for mozzarella cheese sticks. Whenever we go out to eat, we HAVE to order them as an appetizer. When we are at home, my kids like to heat mozzarella string cheese sticks in the microwave until they melt and start to brown along the edges.

    I’ve previously shared recipes for baked mozzarella cheese sticks, buffalo ranch mozzarella sticks, and bacon mozzarella sticks. Today I’m going with a crunchy, salty coating of crushed pretzels on the mozzarella cheese sticks.

    Where is the Pretzel Crusted Mozzarella Sticks recipe? In this post, I will share step-by-step instructions with photos for how to make the mozzarella sticks, as well as answering FAQs about the recipe and sharing a short video showing the recipe in motion. But you can go directly to the recipes by scrolling down to the bottom of the post.

    How To Make Pretzel Crusted Mozzarella Cheese Sticks:

    Step One: Slice The Cheese

    Stack twelve mozzarella cheese sticks and cut in half using a large knife. To make this go faster, cut them all at once or several at a time.

    Step Two: Crush The Pretzels

    Crush enough pretzels to make one cup using a food processor or put them in a gallon sized plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

    Pretzel Crusted Mozzarella Cheese Sticks FAQs

    1. Can these be made ahead of time? 

    Yes, they can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to bake.

    2. Could I use something else for the outside? For this post, I used salted pretzel sticks but it would be fun to try cheddar pretzels or garlic and parmesan pretzels for a different flavor.

    3. Would it work to use a different kind of cheese? You could try using different kinds of cheese sticks like the smoked flavor or Colby Jack.
