Homemade Honey Mustard Pretzels
Homemade Honey Mustard Pretzels are so simple, tasty, and customizable — perfect to make for snacking and sharing! Whip up a batch for game day, a holiday appetizer, or a casual neighborhood get-together.
Honey mustard pretzels the homemade way.
We love a good snack around here, and there are so many great ones worth sharing! For today, let’s keep it super simple with these delicious homemade honey mustard pretzels. Now, seasoned pretzels are definitely not rocket science, but they are a go-to crowd-pleasing snack. And it’s always fun to make something to your own taste!
These also are incredibly easy to make, even in a big batch. Mix a bit of olive oil with honey and whole-grain and dried mustard. Pour this mixture over pretzels, toss to coat, and bake at a low temperature until they’re good and crunchy again and your whole house fills with that glorious honey-mustard smell. Serve these up for a great game day snack, or a simple pre-dinner holiday bite. You can’t go wrong!

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Most of these ingredients are fairly obvious and/or pantry staples. Here is what you will need:
- Pretzels. Any miniature pretzel shape will work, even rods.
- Olive oil. This helps the seasoning blend emulsify and adhere during baking. Canola, vegetable, or another neutral-flavored cooking oil makes a good substitute.
- Honey. Sweet, sticky, delicious.
- Whole-grain or Dijon mustard. An essential part of the flavoring. We use whole grain and Dijon interchangeably for these pretzels and love both results.
- Dried mustard powder and garlic powder. Each adds depth and oomph to the seasoning mix. I like to start with a relatively small amount. After making these one time, you’ll have a pretty good sense of whether you would like even more seasoning for kick.

How To Make Homemade Honey Mustard Pretzels
This is an overview with some step-by-step photos to help you understand the process. Find the full printable recipe with measurements below.
Prep the Baking Sheet: Lay pretzels out on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Line the sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat if at all possible to avoid a sticky clean-up situation.
Mix the Seasonings: Combine the olive oil, honey, both kinds of mustard, and garlic powder in a small liquid measuring cup. Whisk really vigorously; at first the oil will float on top, but you want to keep stirring until the mixture emulsifies into a thick, even liquid. Drizzle this somewhat evenly over the pretzels.
Stir and Bake: Gently stir the pretzels to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes at 250 degrees F, stirring once or twice midway through the baking time.
Cool, Break Apart, and Enjoy: Some of the pretzels may stick together at first, but once set aside to cool it should be easy to snap them apart. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
Storage
These pretzels keep well at room temperature for 2-3 weeks as long as they are tightly sealed.

Pretzels are something new to me. But it is similar to Indian chakli or muruku. So I will try this honey mustard with chakli or muruku. In case, pretzels are available at super market in our locality then I will definitely buy one packet next time for sure.
