Homemade Pretzels

Many people who have a craving for a soft pretzel pick one up while they are at the mall.  Since that's not an option here, I decided to make some at home. I've made soft pretzels several times before, and they turned out OK, but just nothing like what you buy at the mall.

Recently I came across an "Auntie Anne's" copy cat recipe on Pinterest, so I pinned it to give it a try sometime. It was actually a pretty simple recipe, and they turned out great. I was actually quite impressed.

Check out some of my reviews!

"This is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!"  - Judson Tyler

"They are so good I can't stop saying 'mmmmmm'!" - Josiah Tyler

"We should have these every day!" - Jonathan Tyler 

So there you have it. It's a winner! 

They really were the closest thing to a "mall pretzel" that I've ever made at home. Probably not tremendously healthy, but for a treat, it was great.

I even made some cheese sauce to dip them in, but we had a little, um...issue...with the cheese.

I guess this moth really likes cheese!  In the words of Anne Shirley, "I suppose it is a romantic way to die...for a moth."

So we ate them without cheese sauce, and they were still great. 

That was our adventure for the evening. If you're interested in trying out the recipe, you can find it HERE.
