Description

These are nothing like regular soft pretzels. They are made of breadstick dough, covered in cinnamon sugar and then dipped in chocolate ganache! Enough said!

Ingredients

• 1 can of breadstick dough (16.5 ounces; I used Pillsbury Original Breadsticks)
• 8 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons salted butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional
• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, optional

Steps

1. Bring your water to a boil in a medium-large pot. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats, or use parchment paper that’s been sprayed with cooking spray.
2. Unroll and separate the breadstick dough. Use kitchen scissors or a serrated knife to cut each breadstick into four pieces, for a total 48.
3. When the water boils, add the baking soda and salt. Working in batches, place 4-6 pieces of dough in the boiling water for about 15-20 seconds. After a few seconds, flip them over. The dough will change slightly in color. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, tap to remove all water, and place on prepared cookie sheets. Continue until all pretzels are boiled.
