At Uncle Henry’s, we know pretzels – and while we love a good old-fashioned pretzel, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a little extra flavor! Transforming pretzels into seasoned pretzels is a fun and easy way to spice up your snack time. Whether you’re a fan of the savory crunch or the sweet delight, we’ve got you covered with some simple and delicious seasoning mix recipes. And the best part?
