Pretzel Pete introduced Topzels to the world with Cinnamon Brown Sugar and Salted Caramel flavors and at the 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show, the brand will be unveiling all-new savory varieties to join the sweet flavors. Topzels are made by grinding and sifting pretzels into a fine crumb line that's seasoned to enhance virtually any meal's taste or texture. Some of the new options available include Garlic Parmesan and Smoky Bacon & Cheddar.
"The savory flavors are a perfect salad topper yet also perfect on top of grilled foods, baked potatoes, soups and even as a breading for chicken or other dishes," said Pretzel Pete’s president and founder, Karl Brown, "Much of the fun surrounding Topzels is simply finding all of the different applications for these tasty toppings."
