    Sounds and looks yummy. Thanks for sharing.

    Lets have some fun. Take the test Your Snacks Personality and find out which of these snacks do you prefer? I have taken the test and enjoyed a lot. Hope you too will enjoy it. Have Fun!!

  3. Stylist says:

    WONDERFUL idea! I am so not a baker but these seemed easy enough. The store was sold out of white chocolate so I bought chocolate chips & peanut butter chips to do a Reese version. Here's my issue...how did you drizzle the chocolate in such thin lines?? Mine kept dropping in clumps, haha. Oh well, they're not as pretty but they are so yummO, thanks!

  4. Anonymous says:

    I made these this morning as gifts for my neighbors and they are delicious and very easy to make! Thank you for sharing the recipe; it's a keeper!

    Thanks for linking back to me!

  6. tgentry346 says:

    Anyone try a non-microwave version? I got rid of my microwave years ago but would like to try these.

  7. Julie Bird says:

    I, too, don't use a microwave anymore. I would think you could turn on the oven to 350* and just bake the pretzels for a short period, stir, and bake some more. I think the only difference would be that it's not as quick to complete start to finish. That's what I'm going to try! Hope that helps.

  10. MistyandCarla says:

    Silly question....is the cinnamon sugar something you buy with the regular sugar or is it just a combination of granulated sugar and some cinnamon?

  11. Six Sisters says:

    You can buy it pre-made, but it is just a combo of sugar and cinnamon that I mixed together! :)

  12. Christine says:

    This looks so yummy! I just tried making it today and my only problem was, after I drizzled on the melted white chocolate and let it harden, I used a large spatula to lift them all up and put in a container but all the drizzles of white chocolate just fell off and wouldn't stay on! Wondering where I went wrong. I used Ghirardelli's Classic White Baking Chips. I'm wondering if they are not really white chocolate? Any help would be appreciated Six Sisters. The pretzels are very yummy even though the chocolate didn't stick.

  13. Cyd says:

    I just don't know why this would happen? I have had that happen on other things that I have made, and I would say that it's from cheap chocolate, but you used the same chocolate that I did! Ha ha! I really have no idea! -The Six Sisters

  14. Sujin Ha says:

    Hi. This was an amazing recipe! I just want to know how you drizzled the white chocolate because mine stayed pretty solid, making it pretty hard to drizzle evenly.

  15. jackie says:

    Do u use hard or soft pretzels

  16. Cyd says:

    Hi Jackie, we use the hard pretzels that you would find on the potato chip aisle in the grocery store.

  17. Theresa Hoff says:

    I melt my chips in microwave in my glass measuring cup. I add about half to one teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out. I then pour it into a baggie and snip a tiny corner to drizzle. Hope that helps!

  18. Sarah says:

    I put mine in a ziplock back and snip a small part of the corner off. Super easy to drizzle and not have clumps.

  19. Becky G says:

    These taste incredible, although they're not dry yet. That is my question: how long do I let them dry until storing?

  20. Momma Cyd says:

    Just until the white chocolate sets up. Maybe an hour or so.

FAQs

Is baking soda or lye better for pretzels? ›

That said, if sourcing and handling lye isn't for you, you can use a simmering baking soda solution instead. With a pH of roughly 8.3, it reacts less than lye and yields pretzels that are lighter in color and flavor, but the results are still impressive.

What to use instead of lye for pretzels? ›

The most benign substitute for lye is baking soda. You'll get a little bit of browning and some chew, but don't expect it to taste very pretzel-y. You can also used baked baking soda, which is a stronger alkali than baking soda but not as caustic as lye.

How much baking soda in water for pretzels? ›

In a large, wide pot, bring 6 cups water and 2 tablespoons baking soda to a boil. Then, transfer one shaped pretzel to the bath using a slotted spatula and let sit for 1 minute. Then move the pretzel to a cooling rack on top of parchment paper. This allows any excess solution to drip away.

What is the coating on pretzels? ›

Lye is primarily used to make pretzels, and it's the reason for their unmistakable shiny, mahogany color. To prepare, shaped pretzels are dipped in a lye bath, then baked in the oven.

How long do you soak pretzels in lye? ›

Carefully sprinkle the lye into the water. Use a heat-safe silicone spatula to carefully stir the lye to dissolve. The lye is dissolved when the water looks clear (the container will feel warm to the touch – this is normal). Dip a shaped pretzel into the lye bath for about 30 seconds.

Is it safe to eat pretzels dipped in lye? ›

(Pretzels are safe to eat because the lye on their surfaces reacts with carbon dioxide when heated, transforming it into harmless carbonate.)

What is the secret ingredient which makes a pretzel taste like a pretzel? ›

The answer lies in a brief dip in an alkaline water bath before baking. This bath essentially gelatinizes the outside of the pretzel, preventing it from fully “springing” during baking (as bread does) and giving pretzels their signature chewy crust. It also gives them their unique and indelible “pretzel” flavor.

Can you replace baking soda with baking powder for pretzels? ›

To substitute baking powder for baking soda, simply use three times the amount of baking powder as you would baking soda. This counteracts the addition of the dry acid and creates the right chemical reaction in your batter or dough.

Why are my homemade pretzels bitter? ›

If your pretzels have any sort of a metallic, bitter taste, it all comes down to the baking soda bath.

What is the purpose of putting an egg wash on the pretzel? ›

Egg Wash – The egg wash on the pretzels gives them a little shine, and I find it softens the exterior a bit. For a more traditional taste, omit the egg wash and just use salt when the pretzels come out of the water bath.

Does Auntie Anne's use lye? ›

Well, the cheery ladies were very clear with me: they do NOT use lye. No sodium hydroxide/poison/caustic soda—none whatsoever—in their pretzels. (They do, however, dip their pretzels in a baking soda solution.) So there you have it.

What is the white stuff on pretzels? ›

Traditional Bavarian pretzels are dipped in a lye solution before they are baked. Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide, is essentially the same stuff that's used to make soap and clean drains.

What is the difference between lye solution and baking soda solution? ›

Lye is a stronger alkaline than baking soda or sodium bicarbonate, with a pH reading ranging from around 13 to 14. Its base of sodium hydroxide is created commercially by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution, as well as reacting calcium hydroxide with sodium carbonate, according to the FDA.

Why boil pretzel dough in baking soda? ›

As noted above, baking soda is a staple ingredient for making homemade pretzels. Dunking your pretzels in a baking soda bath prior to baking is what enables them to develop their distinctive color and crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside texture.
