25 Pretzel Snacks the Whole Family Will Love

Happy 2025! Every new year, we hope this one will be better than the last and we commit to eating better (even if only for a few weeks). With that in mind, OMG! Pretzels is here to give you 25 pretzel snack ideas that are better for you, seriously scrumptious and full of crunchy, seasoned, authentically-aged sourdough gourmet pretzel goodness.

Perfect Pairings Pretzel Snacks

Let’s start things off with some perfect pretzel snack pairings:

1. Pretzels and Nut Butter. Pick your favorite nut butter – almond, cashew, peanut (we know it’s not really a nut) – and add a little dab onto the OMG! Pretzels flavor of your choice. This pretzel snack is great for kids and adds some protein to snack time. For a sweet treat, substitute cookie butter, also known as Speculous spread for the nut butter to pair with our Sweet & Salty Pretzels.
2. Pretzels and Yogurt. While you could use this as a breakfast idea, we also love it for a great afternoon pretzel snack. If you want to make it fancy, you can layer the yogurt and pretzels parfait-style or keep it simple by just adding crushed pretzels to the top of your yogurt. You can even leave it in the container if you’re looking for an on the go snack option.
3. Pretzels and Hummus. This is a pretty classic idea for what to eat with pretzels. Hummus adds protein and these days with so many flavor options for hummus and our variety of OMG! Pretzels flavors, the sky is the limit on combinations. Chocolate hummus with Sweet Chili Pretzels, roasted pepper hummus with Garlic Pretzels, garlic hummus with Lemon Pepper Pretzels… the list goes on and on.
4. Pretzels and Avocado. You can do slices of avocado or mash it up for more of a guacamole feel; either way, paired with one of OMG! Pretzels’ savory sourdough pretzel nuggets, you have the ultimate pretzel snack in one bite. These ways to jazz up guacamole are easy pretzel snack recipes to whip up for yourself or a few friends. 
5. Pretzels and Cheese. This is another healthy snack idea that has a lot of options. You can pair the flavored pretzels of your choice with a complimentary cheese – think Garlic Pretzels and fresh mozzarella or Chesapeake Spice with creamy Havarti. You could also shake up snack time with Sweet & Spicy Pretzels mixed in with cottage cheese.
6. Pretzels and Dip. What goes well with pretzels? Dip, of course! There are so many pretzel snack ideas when it comes to pairing pretzels with dip. Here are a few of our favorites.

If you prefer amazing pretzel snacks you can just munch on out of a container, we’ve got you covered with just a little bit of prep work. All you need is a big zipper-top plastic bag or other air-tight plastic container, then simply mix up the ingredients and get to snacking!

Habanero- or sriracha-flavored roasted chickpeas, dried chili-spiced pineapple or strawberries, and Nashville Hot almonds amp up the heat. 

Pretzel Snack Dips 

Sometimes pretzel snacks are more fun with a dip.

Here are some yummy options that highlight a few OMG! Pretzels seasoned sourdough pretzel bites.

1. Sweet Cream Cheese Dip. A great pretzel snack option for any of our sweet-flavored pretzel nuggets, you can modify this to meet your needs. Simply whip room temperature cream cheese with a half teaspoon of vanilla and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and then add in cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg or other spices to complete this great pretzel snack dip.
2. Chocolate Hazelnut Dip. This pretzel snack dip couldn’t be easier. With an electric mixer, blend store bought chocolate hazelnut spread with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and you’re off to snacking heaven.
3. Easy Chocolate Dip. All you need for this one are chocolate chips – you choose the variety (dark, white, milk, semi-sweet will all work) – and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Warm up the coconut oil and add in about 6 ounces of your chocolate and stir to combine. If the chocolate doesn’t melt right away, you can heat in the microwave at 20-second intervals. Then, pair with Sweet & Salty or Sweet Chili Pretzels and enjoy.
4. Green Goddess Dip. This herbaceous dip can use sour cream, Greek yogurt or full-fat coconut milk as a base. Simply add lemon juice and a variety of fresh herbs – we recommend garlic, parsley, chives, and basil – into a food processor and blend until smooth. If you want to boost the health factor, avocado is a great bonus ingredient to this pretzel snack dip.
5. Onion Dip. Again, you can use a few base options for this dip, including sour cream and Greek yogurt. You can opt for the homemade route with caramelized onions and herbs or you can get a store-bought onion soup mix. Either way, this slightly savory and slightly sweet dip is delicious with our Garlic Pretzels and our Chesapeake Spice Pretzels.
6. Honey Mustard Dip. This pretzel snack dip is also versatile. You can boost a store-bought honey mustard with some chili sauce for a little spice or thicken it with a little mayonnaise. You can also control the flavor with a homemade version; for lots of kick, use whole grain mustard and for a little fun, use a smoked honey.
7. Warm Feta Cheese Dip. For elegant entertaining or just a delicious afternoon pretzel snack, warm feta cheese dip is a winner. It’s creamy and flavorful, but without the richness of a traditional cheese dip. Keep it light and bright with our award-winning Lemon Pepper Pretzels as dippers. Check out the recipe for this pretzel snack. 
8. Roasted Garlic Mustard Dip. Pretzels and mustard are a classic combination and we love elegant entertaining, so we elevated mustard dip for pretzels with roasted garlic. It’s creamy, tangy and a touch sweet. Find out how to make this pretzel snack recipe.
9. Cheese Dip. Who doesn’t love warm, gooey cheese? Get some store-bought help with your favorite variety of cheese dip or make your own with this pretzel snack recipe and then use our Cheddar Jalapeno Pretzels for the ultimate cheesy pretzel snack!
10. Orange Glaze Dip. To close out our awesome pretzel snack ideas, here’s a sweet pretzel dip. You need 1 cup of confectioner’s sugar, 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the zest of an orange. Simply mix. If you want the glaze to be thinner, add a bit more orange juice. Our Sweet Chili Pretzels make the perfect dippers! 

No matter which pretzel snacks you try, we hope these ideas help you kick off 2025 with some seriously scrumptious, better-for-you snacks. Our seasoned sourdough pretzel nuggets give you a light, airy crunch and bold flavor every time. Happy snacking!
