Notes
● Your butter will melt much faster if you cut it into small cubes. This will also help prevent the butter from splattering as it melts.
● Any kind of cajun seasoning will work for this recipe, so feel free to use your favorite brand!
● The chili powder adds just a hint of rich, smoky sweetness to the pretzels and really compliments the cajun seasoning. If you want to add a little extra heat to your pretzels then you can replace the chili powder with chipotle chili powder.
● Once your pretzels have cooled to room temperature, you can store them on the counter in a bag or airtight container for up to a week.
● Pretzel sticks and traditional pretzel twists both work great for this recipe. We did feel like pretzel twists had a better pretzel to seasoning ratio.
