Tried these keto pretzel bites. Very delicious! I would definitely recommend trying them out! I kept mine in the fridge. Any suggestions on reheating? I’m going to try in the oven.

Hi Amy! I think the oven or air fryer for a few minutes would work. It would depend on your oven, but I would think around 5-10 minutes if cold from the fridge. Thanks so much for stopping by!
