Our taste buds were first introduced to Dot’s Pretzels on Sunday, September 21, 2025 during Docktails (Georgetown, MD to Deltaville, VA) at Somers Cove Marina (Crisfield, MD).
One bite of the Honey Mustard Seasoned Pretzel Twist had us hooked. The thin honey wheat twist combined with the honey mustard flavor is delicious!
While touring Deltaville, VA with friends we found Dot’s Pretzels at Hurd’s Inc checkout. YAHOO!
