My name is Emily Montanez and I’m 22 years old. Looking back, the story behind the start of The Pretzel Pantry comes as no surprise to me. I’ve always had a passion for making chocolate covered pretzels and a heart for serving others.

Four years ago I combined those two “ingredients” and began selling my pretzels to family members & friends to raise money for mission trips. The support I’ve received – because of these delicious pretzels – has allowed me to serve domestically and abroad in places like New York City, Colorado, Guatemala, Cuba & Uganda! Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to share how my pretzel sales funded these trips and everyone has enthusiastically encouraged me to start my own business.
Recently God closed some doors, opened a few & moved some mountains to get The Pretzel Pantry started!
If you’re buying my pretzels today… I want to say “thank you”! You are now an important part of my story! I hope you enjoy the pretzels as much as I enjoy making them.
Order online or you can purchase at the Holiday Gift Market at the Florida Fairgrounds Nov 11-14.

I met Emily about 3 years ago at the Mount Dora craft fair. Her pretzels are DELICIOUS AND AMAZING! I highly recommend buying from The Pretzel Pantry! I am so glad that I saw this article because now I will be sharing with everyone I know!
