These are a fun and easy treat for all ages. They are somewhat time consuming but worth every minute. The directions call for wrapping them around a hot dog or sausage, but they are also delicious in the traditional pretzel shape to be dipped in mustard or beer cheese soup. Get creative and have fun….
