Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Looking for a little chocolate variation? Use semisweet chocolate chips or white vanilla baking chips instead of the milk chocolate chips.
  • tip 2
    Even young children enjoy getting involved; let them break the pretzels for this munchable mix.
