Need a quick, easy, and fun appetizer to serve on game day? This recipe for full loaded pretzel bites takes frozen store bought pretzels to the next level. We loved the combination of fresh scallions and smoky bacon with our pretzel bites, but pickled jalapeños, thinly sliced red onion, or sauteed chorizo would taste equally delicious.
