This blog is the real, much too bias, hopefully funny, brutally honest account of my life.

Twisted

Okay.
I have been cooking a LOT. My pinterest food board has been getting a TON of action as I make my way through various desserts, breads, and meals. I've been trying to expand my cullinary skills, and so I've been experimenting. I've had some successes...like the snickerdoodle brownies...YUM...and some fails...like the chicken and broccoli bacon casserol...this one wasn't a fail, but it could have been better.
ANYWAY.
Today's experiement was soft pretzles. Now, let me preface this with the fact that I have tried to make soft pretzles on quite a few occasions and they usually turn out dry, or have too many air bubbles, or they are too chewy, or just not as good as those yummy ones at the mall.
So, I was a little wary about today's recipe, but I found it on a credible looking blog from Pinterest, so it otta work, right?
Exactly. I could not have been more right about this recipe. The pretzles were FANTASTIC. I'm talking crunchy on the outside, but chewy and soft on the inside. AND they actually taste like pretzled. They were fluffy and perfect.
See, but no perfect preztel can be eaten alone. I needed some cheese, right? (BTW in my book, just about anything can be made better by dipping it in cheese, chocolate, bbq sauce, or butter)
Then, as if I wasn't consuming enough calories as it was, I decided to modify my "Man Stealing Sauce" and make a cheddar edition. this sauce is creamy, cheesy, delicious heaven in a spoon. I made it up at school, and I've stuck with it since. It's the best sauces ever, and this cheddar edition is no different.
Now, because I am a good person, and I think you should try this recipe, I am going to leave the link

HERE for pretzles.

Carb on fellow foodies.
