How to make the best pizza pretzel bites:

Transfer the pretzel bites onto your prepared baking sheet, then top each one with shredded cheese and a pepperoni slice.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is crispy on the edges.
Optionally serve alongside marinara, pizza sauce, or ranch for dipping!

My top tips:

CHEESE: I like shredding my own mozzarella for this recipe rather than buying pre-shredded at the grocery store. It’s not an absolute must but shredding the cheese yourself allows the cheese to melt better compared to pre-shredded cheese that usually has added starch to prevent clumping.
PEPPERONI SLICES: You can use pre-sliced pepperoni for convenience or slice your own. If you slice your own, be sure the slices are thin. This just makes the pretzel bites easier to bite into and eat!
BAKING: You’ll know these pepperoni pretzel bites are done baking when you see the pepperoni is crispy on the edges. They’ll need to cool for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth, but are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven!
DIPPING: Pizza pretzel bites are the perfect finger food which makes serving super easy! Everyone gets their own individually portioned bite, made even more delicious when dipped in warm marinara, pizza sauce, or ranch.
STORING: Any leftovers can be transferred to an airtight container and placed in the fridge for up to 5 days! They reheat like a charm too! I recommend popping them in a 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes or until warmed through. You can also air fry at 375 degrees F for 4 minutes.
