Notes

One: Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for 5-7 days.

Two: Spicier

Add more sriracha sauce or one teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Three: No Bake

Use 8 ounces of butter-flavored popcorn oil instead of the butter and canola oil. Coat the pretzels as directed in the recipe and then stir them every 15 minutes for a total of 3 hours, or until the oil is absorbed.

Four: Snack Mix

Substitute some of the pretzels for Goldfish crackers, Cheezits, Chex cereal, oyster crackers, or nuts.

Five: Southwest

Substitute 3 teaspoons of southwest seasoning for the garlic powder, cajun seasoning, and onion powder.
