For a deeper flavor, toast the pretzels lightly in the oven before adding them to the mix. Adjust the amount of chile-garlic sauce to your preferred level of spice. Make sure to spread the mix in a single layer on the baking sheets to ensure even crisping. If the baking sheet is too crowded the mix will steam rather than crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
