soft pretzels with jalapeño cheese dip


Auntie Anne's is one of my all-time favorite mall indulgences. (Followed by the Great American Cookie Company.) A warm, chewy pretzel with the crunch of salt dipped in not so amazing cheese dip...yummm. I'm not sure if it's because I had a long run today, but I was craving a carb-loaded afternoon treat! I should have taken pictures along the way, but I failed, so I will put the link to the recipe I used (originally done by good ole Bobby Flay!), which contains step-by-step photos. I would recommend making thicker pretzels, as I found them to hold up better in the dipping-in-boiling-water step. Also, if you are worried they are going to fall apart on you, you could just opt to do pretzel sticks. I think this recipe would be great to experiment with other flavors, like a cinnamon-sugar blend or adding meat or cheese to the dough for a super savory snack. Enjoy!!

Here is the link with photos.
