Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make these holiday treats for gifts—everyone enjoys the sweet and salty combination! Package them in pretty see-through cellophane bags.
  • tip 2
    Want to keep your hands (mostly) coating-free? Use a toothpick or fork to help you coat the pretzels evenly.
