Soft Pretzel Bites...2 Ways! Stuffed and Sweet!

blogger templates
I am so hooked on this new recipe I just tried!!! I've been wanting to make my own pretzels for years, but I kept putting it off because I thought it would never work out for me! Then a few days ago I saw this recipe a food friend named Bill Wentz posted on Facebook! This recipe was the easiest I've seen for soft pretzels!!! It's just 5 ingredients! You just mix everything together and then knead, shape, dip and bake for 10 minutes! The hardest part for me was shaping the pretzels! Here's a picture of my first attempt at pretzel shaping.......

First attempt!
I know these look bad!!!
But they tasted great!
These are coated with cinnamon and brown sugar!

Then I tried it again and added jalapeno and shredded cheddar to the dough! My pretzel shaping skills slightly improved with these!
Second attempt!
Jalapeno/Cheddar

Then I made these yet again and decided to make them into nuggets! I split the dough in half and filled some of the nuggets with chopped jarred jalapeno and shredded cheddar cheese. I also sprinkled some cheddar ontop before baking them for 10 minutes!

These were DELICIOUS!!! And so easy to eat!!! A few bites and they were gone!!! I made the other half of the batch into a sweet pretzel nugget!
I mixed about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tsp. of cinnamon powder into the dough. Then I sprinkled the tops with cinnamon and brown sugar before baking them. These were just as delicious...perfect with a cup of coffee!
