Trader Joe's Soft Pretzel Stick, 85g

TJ’s Soft Pretzel Stick is shaped a bit like a short baguette. Despite its lack of a twist, it’s unmistakably pretzel-y, with a pillowy interior and that classic, dark-brown exterior, first developed by 16th-century monks who used a pure form of lye to enhance the Maillard reaction. Fancy as this may sound, TJ’s Soft Pretzel Stick is really just a yummy, yeasty bun that can be enjoyed in several delicious ways.

Heat up some White Queso Dip, then tear off pieces of the stick to dunk and enjoy. You could also slice it in half lengthwise, toast it, and spread it with Cultured Salted Butter. Or perhaps you’re in the mood for a sandwich, in which case we recommend a generous spread of Organic Yellow Mustard and several slices of Uncured Pastrami. Of course, you could always just open the package and take a bite!
