You will love these Flavored Pretzels
You guys, if you have never had Dot’s Pretzels I feel like I owe you this warning. These pretzels will ruin you for all other pretzels FOREVER! That may sound a little over dramatic, but I am not even exaggerating! They are THE BEST PRETZEL EVER!
This copy cat recipe tastes just like the real thing! Of course, if you want the signature look of Dot’s Pretzels you have to find butter twist pretzels. And, as much as I searched, I couldn’t find them…except on Amazon for $27 a bag. And there was NO WAY that was happening. So I had to settle for the signature taste over the signature look! But I think you’ll agree, it is a great trade off!
You could even use the spice blend in this recipe with my amazing soft pretzels for a completely new type of snack! Whatever you do, I think you’ll agree, these pretzels are deliciously addictive in the best possible way!

How to make Seasoned Pretzels
Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees and prepare your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Measure out the pretzels into a large bowl. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the pretzels and stir, being sure to get them evenly coated. We are going to coat the pretzels and then sprinkle the flavoring on, that way everything is nice and even.
In a small bowl combine the powdered buttermilk with the spices and stir. Sprinkle the spice mixture onto the buttered pretzels, stirring frequently. It is best to sprinkle slowly while stirring to make sure everything is evenly coated.
Finally, we will bake the pretzels on the prepared pan for 20 minutes. Let the pretzels cool before digging in.
How to serve Seasoned Pretzels

- Pair with dips: Dip seasoned pretzels into your favorite dips, such as hummus, guacamole, or salsa.
- Add to a snack mix: Combine seasoned pretzels with other snacks, such as nuts, popcorn, and crackers, to create a delicious snack mix.

What is the best thing to dip pretzels in?
I love dipping these pretzels in a creamy cheese sauce or with a cheeseball. The creaminess pairs so well with spicy saltiness of the pretzels. hummus or guacamole are also great options.
How to store Flavored Pretzels
The pretzels stay good for a really long time, but are freshest within that first week. Store in any air tight container or zip top bag.
Seasoned Pretzels Recipe FAQs
This recipe could be easily halved (but why would you ever want to do that). Or doubled, to enjoy yourself or to share with friends.
I wouldn’t go straight to spicy, I’d go more to having a little kick of heat. I personally am not a fan of spicy things and I love these pretzels. If you are hoping to share with kids or just don’t like heat yourself, you could definitely half the amount of cayenne and black pepper.
That’s it! Literally the world’s best pretzel right at your fingertips, bite after delicious bite!
This is the million dollar question! Salty, spicy, garlicy and oniony!
Dot’s pretzels are baked, not fried.
