How can I make these pretzels ahead of time? If it's just a few hours ahead of time, can I just refrigerate them on the pan and then pop the pretzels into the oven when ready? Yes, Julie, that would be a good solution. You could also bake them, DON'T butter, and cool to room temperature. Right before serving, reheat (5 minutes or so in a 350°F oven, tented with foil); then butter when they come out of the oven, and serve. PJH
