Tips:

Choose the right pretzels. Smaller pretzels are ideal for this recipe, as they'll be easier to coat in the seasoning mixture. You can use any type of pretzels you like, but avoid using pretzels that are too salty or have a strong flavor, as they will overpower the other ingredients.
Measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the seasoning mixture, as the measurements need to be precise in order to get the right flavor. If you don't have a kitchen scale, use measuring cups that have been leveled off with a knife.
Spread the pretzels out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
Stir the pretzels occasionally while they're baking. This will help to ensure that they're evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
Let the pretzels cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become crispy.

Conclusion:

Sweet and Salty Party Mix is a delicious and addictive snack that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own preferences.
