Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayo, and horseradish until it’s nice and smooth. Then add the garlic, onion, lemon juice, and a splash of hot sauce—give it a good stir. Gently fold in the crab meat, and season with white pepper to your liking. Spread this mixture evenly over the pretzels, and sprinkle each one with about half a cup of shredded cheese. Pop them in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, which should take around 20 minutes. Let them cool just a bit before digging in!
