People who like chewing on toast left under the grill for three hours? People who chew on bark?

    Twiglets are kinda just a worse version of pretzels covered in yeast extract. Highly recommend just making some homemade pretzels covered in different stuff.

    Powdered buttermilk with garlic salt. Yeast extract and MSG. Mustard and onion powder. Lemon pepper and ranch.

    Not going to share my homemade soft pretzel recipe because I do not want to be responsible for someone accidentally getting lye on themselves, but you can do basically the same thing by taking store bought sourdough pretzels, breaking them up and using a compound butter to adhere the powders to the broken insides, which turns out like those Snyder's pieces.

    Edit: next time I make pretzels I'm going to try sodium carbonate instead of lye and if it turns out ok, I will share a full process recipe but only if everyone promises to wear gloves.

      Do the Germans have a word for finding out that something as mundane as pretzels has been a competition and that one is losing at it?

        Apparently you can coat store bought hard pretzels or pretzel sticks with some oil and powdered seasonings in a plastic zipper bag! Seriously, just mess around with some seasonings. Mustard powder and buttermilk powder are each great starting places, and then just add stuff that doesn't contain salt if they're already salted pretzels.
