Sweet and Salty Pretzels in a Jar

Mason Jar Gifts are such a cute and easy way to package almost any homemade treat. This year, my daughter will be bringing these Sweet’n Salty Pretzels to her lucky teachers and I’m going to share with you how you can treat the sweet & salty snack fans in your life to this tasty treat!

Sweet & Salty Pretzels in a Jar

I know I’m guilty of going into the Christmas season with grand ambitions in mind for what I’m going to make for everyone on my list… and then mid-December panic strikes as I realize I have maybe two gifts done and 20-something to go!

So, this year I resolved to stick with easy, simple DIYs that could be made with my 5 year old and packaged easily in mason jars, like our No-Sugar Banana Bread Mason Jar Gifts or these Homemade Spice Rubs & Mason Jar Cocktails we made for my grill-enthusiast brother.

No stress, no worrying about wrapping presents – just simple, homemade gifts that tray true to the heart of the holiday.

(Plus, who doesn’t love a truly indulgent and tasty gift!)

After the pretzels are gone, the recipient can clean out the jar and use it however they’d like!

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It's important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
