This Pretzel Bites post is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ABC’s The Chew. The opinions and text are all mine.
I kind of love Chef Symon. There I said it. Okay it’s more like I dig his cooking and the fact that he is obsessed with pork. He has pig tattoos, I’d say that goes beyond liking something and I’m totally okay with that. Honestly he’s a big reason I watch The Chew on ABC.
But then there’s Mario and his awesome orange crocs, Daphne, Clinton, and Carla. Okay all the hosts are a hoot. Do you watch it too? It’s not a typical talk show, this one is tasty! It serves up everything FOOD and tips that help you make life fuller, more flavorful and fun. 
Look at them! I think they’re having entirely too much fun ; ) This is not your typical daytime talk show. You won’t find any stuff round table here. So much inspiration to be found. On a recent episode “Celebration of Street Food” I was inspired by Carla’s and Curtis’ pretzels!
Who doesn’t love a big puffy salty pretzel? I changed mine up a tad and made them into bite sized versions!
I’m always looking for new ways to spice up my Summer dishes, and ABC’s The Chew serves up everything from grilling and outdoor entertaining to road trips and picnics. Watch weekdays 1e|12p|c on ABC to see what celebrity chefs Mario Batali, Michael Symon, and Carla Hall, lifestyle expert Clinton Kelly and fresh face of healthy living Daphne Oz are dishing out to inspire you this Summer.
