National Pretzel Day

Pretzels are the perfect food.  They can be enjoyed a variety of ways, both savory and sweet.  Today is National Pretzel Day so thinking of all the ways to eat pretzels is a way to celebrate this popular snack.  Enjoy my collection of pretzel photos I've taken and expect to get hungry!

One way to eat pretzels is having them soft baked and topped with salt and cheese dipping sauce on the side.  These pictured here are from Buffalo Wild Wings. 

Another fun and delicious way to have pretzels is to dip them in melted chocolate and top with candy cane pieces for the holidays!

Make some Peanut Butter-Pretzel Truffles for another way to eat pretzels.  You can find my post here for the recipe for this sweet and salty treat.

You can also try making your own homemade ice cream with pretzels.  This ice cream had Cookie Butter and crushed up chocolate- covered pretzels.  I also used a chocolate -covered pretzel as a garnish.  My husband and I are still talking about how good this was and I made it months ago!

You can't forget about cookies with pretzels! That's also a delicious combination.  These are the Loaded-Up Pretzel Cookies that also had M&M's and coconut I recently baked! Click here for the recipe.

Sometimes bigger is better when enjoying a pretzel!  Try a large soft pretzel with a cheese dipping sauce from the Tap & Barrel in Vancouver, BC.

You can find awesome ice cream with pretzels at the grocery store, too!  Pictured here is some Salted Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream.  Have a scoop with a slice of chocolate cake and you'll be super satisfied!  Happy National Pretzel Day!
