Honey Mustard Pretzels
How about this hurricane? Anyone on the eastern side of the country has been hearing about Sandy for the past week and most of us are hunkering down to weather the storm today. In Boston, schools are closed, office building are closed, and people stayed off the roads.
I actually got up and started driving to work since our office isn’t closed today. The roads were eerily empty. About half way to work, I decided it wasn’t worth risking a commute home over the Tobin with hurricane-force gusts and turned back home. I am working from home most of the day and so far, haven’t had any issues (we’ll see what happens as the day progresses). I hope everyone out there is staying dry and safe.
While sitting at home working I always tend to snack. It must just be because I’m home and there are always baked goods or other treats in the house. When I’m at my desk, I don’t snack that often, but at home, forget it. This morning, I have been snacking on these Honey Mustard Pretzels.
It wasn’t my plan. I had hoped to keep them around until the weekend, but they’re just so addictive. They come together in a snap and disappear just as quickly. These are perfect for sitting around watching football, handing out Halloween candy, or working from home in my case.
After a couple days, mine started to lose a bit of their crunch, so I just popped them back in the oven for another 15 minutes and they crisped right up again.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I am intrigued! I like Oreos and Doritos separately, so I will have to give this popcorn a try. My three-year-old is King of Interesting Combinations, so I know I’ll have a buddy to share it with. 🙂

Hubby definitely kind of gave me a weird look when I was chowing down on this 😉
no way! i just posted some doritos chocolate chip cookies on my blog! love the chocolate/dorito combo! this looks super delish 🙂

That is crazy! I bet Doritos in cookies is amazing!
Love this idea! Definitely going to try it soon. I am also thinking Sun Chips would be an awesome part of the combination
this is weird… I like it.

weird? absolutely. delicous? for sure 😉
What an interesting combo. I always did popcorn, Sourpatch Kids, and Raisinets at the movies, so I can see how this would work.

Woah – now that’s an interesting combination. I like all of those things separately. I’m going to have to try them all together the next time I go to a movie.
This sounds amazing. i should admit that i am 37 weeks pregnant and have eaten a ton of oreos and doritos this pregnancy, why oh why didn’t i think to put them together!!! thank you!!!!
beantownbaker — February 3rd, 2013 @ 9:46 pm
Haha, glad I gave you the idea. Hope you like them together 😉
This combination is crazy, but that just means I am going to have to go home and try it. This could totally hit the spot I am sure 🙂

Let me know what you think if you do try it
I happen to think this sounds perfect, and not at all strange. But i’m the girl that likes to eat dortitos inside my PB&J sandwiches, and dip french fries in milkshakes…..so to me this makes sense! I’ll have to give it a try – thanks for posting!

OMG I totally forgot about Doritos inside a PB&J!! I used to do that too. MMmmm.
OK this is totally weird, but I would totally eat it. Talk about a junk food dream!
