Whether you’re looking for sweet or savory, hot or spicy, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s dive in and explore these mouth-watering options.
Spice Up Your Life
Sweet and Spicy Pretzel Bits: Take a bag of Uncle Henry’s Broken Bits, then drizzle them with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Toss the popcorn to evenly coat it, and then bake in a 300°F oven for 15 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. This sweet and spicy combo is a game changer.
Fun Pretzel Twists for Winter Nights
Beer Cheese Soup with Pretzel Toppers: In a large pot, sauté chopped onions, carrots, and celery in butter until tender. Stir in flour and cook for a few minutes, then slowly whisk in chicken broth, beer, and milk or cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once thickened, reduce the heat, and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
For the pretzel toppers, break Uncle Henry’s Extra Dark Pretzels into smaller pieces and toss with melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Toast the seasoned pretzel bits in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they’re crisp and golden. Ladle the beer cheese soup into bowls and top with the flavorful pretzel toppers for added crunch and satisfaction.
Warm and Cozy Comforts
Caramel Pretzel Bread Pudding: In a large bowl, mix together Uncle Henry’s Classic Pretzels (broken into pieces), cubed bread, milk, cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to allow the pretzels and bread to absorb the liquid. Transfer to a greased baking dish and drizzle with caramel sauce. Bake at 350°F for 45-60 minutes or until the pudding is set and golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a comforting winter dessert.
