These pretzel caramel chocolate bars are full of ooey gooey goodness that you just can’t resist! They are such a delicious treat for the holidays, and are a perfect addition to cookie platters, and tins full of treats for friends and neighbors.

Are hard pretzels baked or fried?

Hard pretzels are actually baked in convection tunnel ovens, and are dried, then packaged when ready to go.

What can I do with stale pretzels?

Believe it or not, you don’t need to toss stale pretzels into the garbage. You can actually heat them to get that crunch back. Simply preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and pop your stale pretzels in for about 3 minutes or so. That stale taste will go away, and your pretzels will be crunchy again.

Where are most pretzels made?

Fun fact: Southeastern Pennsylvania is considered the birthplace of pretzels, and 80% of the pretzels produced in the US come straight from Pennsylvania pretzel bakers.
