Ingredients

For the Pretzel Pieces

• 8 cups bite-sized pretzel pieces or mini pretzel twists
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Make the Honey Mustard Coating

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Coat the Pretzels

Place the pretzel pieces in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the honey mustard mixture over the pretzels and gently toss until every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.

Step 4: Bake

Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 7–8 minutes to ensure even baking and crispness.

The coating should become lightly caramelized and the pretzels should be crisp and fragrant.

Step 5: Cool

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pretzels to cool completely on the pan. As they cool, they will become even crunchier.

Break apart any pieces that have stuck together.

Step 6: Serve

Transfer the cooled Honey Mustard Pretzel Pieces to a serving bowl or airtight container.

Enjoy immediately as a snack or package them for parties, picnics, road trips, or homemade gifts.
