Utz Extra Dark Pretzels
What it is
These are baked pretzel twists that have been cooked longer than standard pretzels. This extended baking process gives them a deeper color and a more intense, slightly bitter flavor. They are a crunchy snack, typically seasoned with salt. The pretzels are made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast, then shaped and baked. They offer a satisfying crunch and a distinct taste profile that sets them apart from lighter pretzels.
