Pretzel Dogs

Rating: 4 stars 25
So good and better than the ones you get at the mall that cost $5 and were made four hours ago! These are a family favorite that even my pickiest eater goes back for seconds (and sometimes thirds!) We always make a big batch because these are just as good reheated the next day for 45 seconds in the microwave with some mustard! Yum!

Pepperoni Crisps

Rating: 4 stars 36
Pepperoni slices that are baked to make chips! A great snack alone or paired with cheeses or dunked in marinara sauce.
