    I do not know exactly what it is about getting pretzels from the mall food court, but there is just something magical about ordering a piping hot, soft, salty pretzel and dipping it into the cool, sweet, and tangy honey mustard sauce. And yes honey mustard is my absolute favorite and I always, always, have to have it with my pretzel.

    However, let’s face it, mall pretzels are pretty hard to resist because you can smell the aroma of freshly baked pretzels as soon as you put one foot inside the mall. Regardless of which store you find yourself in. It is almost as if the scent follows you everywhere to the point that you have to give in and make your way into the food court to purchase one.

    Now let me share with you a simple way that you can have soft pretzels from the comfort of your very own home and pair it with a homemade honey mustard sauce.

    What ingredients to make homemade pretzels and dipping sauce?

    Working with one strip at a time fold the strip in half lengthwise and begin to form the pretzel by taking the ends of the strip and making it into a ‘U’ shape.
