"Adapted from "Wondertime" magazine (Dec/Jan 2008, page 52, by Ann Hodgman) I adore the flavored pretzel pieces you can get in the grocery store, but they're at least twice as much as the plain ones. This recipe doesn't quite replicate the taste, but if you use recipes 34573 and 209222 for the seasoning mixes, it comes out to be a lot less (plus then you have the seasoning mixes). And it's kind of fun to make, especially if you have kids who want to help you out. Preparation time includes 1 hour "marinading" time -- actual hands-on prep is closer to 5 minutes -- but does not include cooling time after the pretzels are cooked...."
