Buffalo Pretzels recipe just in time for the Super Bowl! It’s an easy snack or appetizer recipe and also great for parties and tailgating. You can even make it in big batches and freeze it ahead of time. In fact, I have a big bag of these Buffalo Pretzels in my freezer right now! :)
This Buffalo Pretzels recipe kind of reminds me of homemade Chex Mix if you’ve ever made that but this has just pretzels and Buffalo style. This recipe is super easy!
To start, lightly tap your pretzels with a meat mallet so that they break into pieces.
Once you have your pretzel pieces and bits, mix the pretzels and the rest of the ingredients in a large baking dish and bake for about 90 minutes.
Be sure to mix the pretzels every 15 minutes or so. Very important!!!
Let the pretzels sit for awhile after you take them out of the oven so they can dry.
Once cool, you can eat them right away (if you haven’t eaten them already that is…) or you can even store in the freezer!
Hope you enjoy! Another fun buffalo inspired snack is this Buffalo Cauliflower!

Sounds great but can you use soft pretzels and cut in to chucks?
Lisa Huff says
I don’t see why not. You just might need to bake them longer to dry them out if you want them crispy. I think it would be kind of like flavored pretzel croutons. :)

Looks great. Wish I had it for the game!
Kimberly Ann @ Bake Love Give says
I normally pick the pretzels OUT of my chex mix, but that’s because I find them boring. This recipe sounds like it fixes that problem! I love the idea of breaking up larger pretzels to have extra textured surface area for the seasonings to grab on to.

Love this! My husband loves his hot sauce, so this will be a fun twist to replace chex mix at the Super Bowl party.
