Pumpkin Spice & White Chocolate Half-Pound Pretzels – Fresh Batch Extra

Pumpkin Spice & White Chocolate Artisan Pretzels

Kingston Sweet Batch • Sugar-Brined & Hand-Drizzled

This Is What Fall Tastes Like.

There are certain flavors that don't need much of an introduction.

Cinnamon.

Ginger.

Nutmeg.

Allspice.

Put them together and somehow you can almost feel the temperature outside drop a few degrees.

That's Pumpkin Spice.

I start these differently from my savory pretzels, using my sugar-brine process to create the sweet foundation of the recipe.

Then I build the spice.

Warm cinnamon leads the way.

Ginger adds a little brightness.

Nutmeg brings that unmistakable fall warmth.

Allspice rounds everything out.

And once the pretzels are ready, I finish the entire micro-batch by hand with a drizzle of creamy white chocolate.

It's fall in a pretzel.

And I only make it when the season feels right.

The Flavor

Pumpkin Spice is all about warmth.

Cinnamon comes first, giving the recipe its familiar sweet-spiced foundation.

Then comes ginger with a little aromatic bite.

Nutmeg adds warmth and depth.

Allspice pulls everything together with its distinctive fall character.

Underneath all of it is the salty crunch of the pretzel.

And over the top?

White chocolate.

I drizzle it onto each batch by hand, adding creamy pockets of sweetness without completely covering the spices or the pretzel underneath.

One bite might give you more cinnamon.

Another catches a little extra white chocolate.

Then the ginger or nutmeg comes through.

That's exactly what I want.

Why I Make It This Way

Pumpkin spice can become very sweet, very quickly.

I don't want that.

I want you to actually taste the spices.

The cinnamon.

The ginger.

The nutmeg.

The allspice.

That's also why I drizzle the white chocolate instead of completely coating the pretzels.

It should complement those warm spices—not bury them.

The salty pretzel stays part of the recipe.

The spice stays part of the recipe.

The white chocolate stays part of the recipe.

Nothing has to take over.

The Sugar-Brine Difference

My sweet pretzels start differently.

Instead of the seasoning process I use for my savory recipes, Pumpkin Spice begins with my sugar-brine process.

It gives me the sweet foundation I need while still allowing the pretzel itself to remain crunchy and recognizable underneath everything I add afterward.

From there, I layer in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.

Then comes the final step.

I drizzle the white chocolate over the batch by hand.

It's more work.

That's okay.

I'm one snack maker.

Making things this way is kind of the point.

Crafted the Kingston Way

Pumpkin Spice is one of my sugar-brined sweet recipes.

I make it in intentionally limited micro-batches, layer the pretzels with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice, then drizzle the finished batch by hand with white chocolate.

No giant production line.

No mass manufacturing.

No machine applying the chocolate.

Just one snack maker making fall pretzels a batch at a time.

Freshness Promise

Pumpkin Spice isn't something I make year-round just so there's always inventory sitting on a shelf.

It's a seasonal recipe.

I make it in limited micro-batches, drizzle the white chocolate by hand, package it fresh, and release it while that batch lasts.

When it's gone, it may actually be gone for a while.

That's part of Kingston.

Some flavors stay.

Some come and go.

And some only make sense when the season comes around again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pumpkin Spice actually contain pumpkin?

This recipe is built around the classic spices associated with pumpkin spice: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.

The flavor comes from that warm spice blend rather than pumpkin flavoring.

Is the white chocolate completely covering the pretzels?

No.

I drizzle the white chocolate over each micro-batch by hand. That lets the warm spices, salty pretzel and creamy white chocolate each have their own moment.

Are these very sweet?

They're definitely a sweet pretzel, but I build the recipe around the spices rather than sugar alone. The salty pretzel underneath also provides contrast to the sweetness and white chocolate.

Is the white chocolate really hand-drizzled?

Yes.

Once the pretzels are ready, I personally drizzle the white chocolate over each micro-batch before packaging.

Is Pumpkin Spice available year-round?

Not necessarily.

Pumpkin Spice is one of my seasonal Sweet Batch recipes. I make limited quantities during its production window, and once a release sells out, it may not return until another seasonal batch.

How should I store them?

Reseal the pouch after opening and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or excessive heat, especially because of the white chocolate drizzle.
