Thanksgiving is in less than a week. Can you believe it?
I’m getting my appetite ready for the loads of delicious food that I will enjoy at my parents’ and in-laws house. Two Thanksgiving meals means double the fun, laughter, and food, so bring it on!
But along with the holidays comes another season…football season! While I lump in sports as a year-round activity that doesn’t really peak my interest, the hubster is all about sports.
I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll say it again…he really missed his calling to go into sports broadcasting or something along those lines. The hubster knows anything and everything about almost every sport out there. From basketball statistics to who isn’t returning to their team next year, the hubster knows it all.
So needless to say, he’s pretty excited that football season is upon us. And what’s even better is that Thanksgiving is full of football games all day, which means he gets to watch his beloved sport and chow down on some delicious foods. It’s pretty much a dream day for football fans, right?
And even though we’ll devour the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, there will also be plenty of game day foods to snack on. Although I’m not a football fan, I do love to munch on delicious snacks. Especially ones that are more creative than your typical chips and dip.
These Almond Pretzel Bites are filled with crunchy pretzels, Smokehouse Almonds, caramel candies, and drizzled with white chocolate. They’re ready in minutes and make the perfect game day snack for when you crave a sweet and salty treat!
If you’re anything like me, the combination of sweet and salty is incredibly hard to resist. Which is why these Almond Pretzel Bites make the perfect snack for football season. It’s easy to make, fun to eat, and has the perfect amount of flavor from the rich chocolate and smoky almonds.
These Almond Pretzel Bites also make a perfect game day snack because of the Smokehouse Almonds from Blue Diamond. The almonds are filled with a delicious smokehouse tastes that has just the right amount of flavor.
Combine that with the salty pretzels and sweet chocolate, and your game day snack just got kicked to a whole new level.
And like most of my recipes, these Almond Pretzel Bites take just minutes to whip up! You simply top each pretzel with a chocolate candy and then pop it into the oven until the chocolate starts to melt. Top each pretzel with a Smokehouse Almond, and then drizzle with some white chocolate. What could be easier than that?
So the next time you’re looking for a new game day snack for football season, these Almond Pretzel Bites will do just the trick! With the perfect amount of sweet and saltiness, you’ll be making this snack all year long!

Well, these look like sweet and salty heaven! It’s enough to tempt me into that noisy living room where the football is going on (and on and on!)
Thanks, Kate! This is the perfect snack to munch on if you have to survive some football! 🙂
I think sports trivia is how guys connect. It’s like their version of a soap opera. My dad and husband talk sports endlessly, and I’m not sure they do much else!
These are delicious. I mean, everything good is in here!
Haha yes my husband and dad do the exact same! Thanks for the kind words, Mir!
