    As with the other reviews... this is addicting! Orhers mentioned less oil & same taste. I assume they would bake faster too as the coating dried up as the time went on.

    OK, I made one change, I cut the oil in half to get the calories and fat down, and they still tasted terrific. These are perfect for game day snacks. The spices are so tasty on these pretzel nuggets, and they have just the right amount of kick.
