Notes
Homemade pumpkin spice blend is easy to make with spices in well stocked pantries. A timesaving substitute is store bought pumpkin pie spice. Use 2 tablespoons of the premade spice blend in place of the homemade version.
For the tastiest pretzels, make sure the butter, sugar and pumpkin spice mixture completely covers the pretzels.
