Appetizer Pretzel Pick Ups Recipes

Steps:

• Place pretzels in a single layer on a 9 x 13 baking sheet.
• Melt butter in a heavy sauce pan and stir in lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
• Pour over pretzels, turning to coat. Bake at 250 degrees F. for 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. Let pretzels cook completely and then store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, combine cheese, ham, horseradish, mustard and hot pepper sauce; mix well.
• 2. Shape cheese mixture into 48 3/4 inch balls; roll in chopped nuts. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or until ready to serve.
• 3. When ready to serve, insert 1 pretzel stick into each cheese ball.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using scissors or a knife, cut each strip of bacon crosswise into 4-5 small rectangles. Arrange the slices on a prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness, being careful not to burn it. Transfer the bacon to a wire rack to cool, blotting with a paper towel to remove excess grease before using. Leave the oven on.
• Slice the Brie into ½-inch-thick planks, then slice into 1-inch-wide squares for a total of 12 squares.
• Place 12 Snyder's Pretzel Snaps on the remaining prepared baking sheet. Top each pretzel with one cooked bacon slice, then a square of Brie, then one more bacon slice, then top each with another pretzel.
• Bake the bites for 2-3 minutes, until the Brie is warm and softened, but not completely melted; keep a close eye to avoid over-melting the cheese. Remove from the oven.
• Drizzle the bites with honey, then garnish each with an optional small sprig of thyme.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
