Throwback Thursday-Soft Pretzels

I have been craving warm, homemade soft pretzels! I went back into my archives to find this recipe and thought it was a great one to share for Throwback Thursday! 

There is nothing like sinking your teeth into a warm, fresh, soft pretzel! There are some places that make amazing soft pretzels but there are times when you just can’t get to those places and you got to have a soft pretzel..and not the frozen kind either..it’s just not the same!

So, I set out to create a pretzel bite to satisfy my craving and I paired it alongside my favorite homemade raspberry honey dijon mustard pretzel dip! The fun part about making them at home is that the kids got to help roll out the dough and create their own shapes. While I made pretzel bites my kids made hearts, princess wands and light sabers! 

We met with success and satisfied a craving as we enjoyed lots of warm,fresh, soft pretzel bites and dip!
