Swap out the Hershey's hugs for rolos - those caramel filled candies. They work the same way and give that added caramel element. Having a strong portfolio and really great brands is the first piece of the puzzle for us winning. The second thing in our salty business is we have untapped potential in the categories in which we play,”​ and “the third thing to know is consumer trends are on our side,”​ Riggs said. Use pecans instead of M&M's for a nutty version. This is especially yummy if you are using rolos in place of hugs. Mini-pretzels work best since the Chex Mix is bite-sized. I think it looks better to have everything of a similar size. Skip the M&M and top the melted hug with a second pretzel to make a pretzel hug sandwich for a greater crunchy, salty to sweet ratio.

Seriously, unless you have iron-clad willpower, don’t make these. I ate three before they cooled and almost burned my mouth!Now that we’re popcorn makers and pretzel makers and the Dutch pretzel line has been marketed for a few years, we can now make our dipped pretzels … and additionally Reese’s Popcorn, which was in test markets last year, just launched,”​ Riggs said. “This ability for us to bring sweet and salty and leverage the iconic brand of Reese’s into the salty category provides a lot of incrementality and growth.”​ ‘We plan to grow margins on our salty business 300 basis points’​ Really these fun and festive pretzel hugs are perfectly customizable for any holiday celebration from Christmas (red and green M&M's) to Easter (pastel M&M's), Valentine's Day (reds, pinks & whites), or the 4th of July (red, white, and blue - natch), and anything in between. She explained that through Hershey’s recent acquisitions it is now able to bring together several businesses that have been running their own platform and systems under one ERP platform. The latest agreement includes North Dakota-based Dot’s, the fastest-growing brand in the pretzel market, commanding 55% of category growth over the past year. I like using my silpat liners better than parchment paper for these. They are more grippy on the pretzels so they don't slide all over when I'm transferring to the oven.

I created my pretzels to share with those people closest to me and have built the business with the idea of sharing them with everyone,”​ said Henke. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 4-6 minutes, just until the candy starts to melt. They should look shiny and soft, but you don't want to go too far or they will liquify and you will have a mess! Over the next three years, we plan to grow margins on our salty business 300 basis points,”​ by optimizing the company’s supply chain network, implementing an enhanced enterprise resource planning software system, and enhancing the portfolio mix, Rigg said. With Hershey behind this amazing brand, I am confident that anyone who would like to enjoy these deliciously bold pretzels will have the opportunity.”​ Pretzels Inc.Between the soft and chewy texture, the caramel and chocolate, and the crunchy pretzels, these are downright addictive.

I fit 70 pretzel snaps on a baking sheet.
