Soft Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese Dip

After showing you yesterday how to make my favorite homemade buttery soft pretzels, today I wanted to pop back in with a quick tutorial on how to make soft pretzel bites!

Because as much as I love traditionally-shaped pretzels, I have to say that these cute little pretzel bites are what I tend to make most often in my kitchen.  I’m especially partial to these bite-sized shapes because (a) they’re just adorable and perfect for sharing (b) I love that they have more of that crispy golden crust in each bite, and (c) most importantly, they are perfect for dunking in all of your favorite dips!

As I mentioned yesterday, I also love this particular homemade pretzel recipe because it’s easy to make without a stand mixer in just around an hour or so.  And bonus, you likely already have all of the ingredients ready to go in your kitchen.  That said, feel free to get creative and play around with different toppings if you would like — I especially love making pretzel bites with everything bagel seasoning or some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top — but really, the sky’s the limit when it comes to possible toppings, seasonings, and accompanying dips.  You do you. ♡

Ok, let’s make some pretzel bites!
