Sweet and savory pretzels on white plate.

Sweet and Savory Seasoned Pretzels

These sweet and savory seasoned pretzels are coated with brown sugar, smoked paprika, lemon zest, rosemary, and just a bit of cayenne pepper. This snack is sweet, smokey and has just a hint of spice. These guys are great on their own, but pair them with the maple mustard dipping sauce and you've got quite the snack!
