Soft Pretzel Snack

The littles have been helping me make the yummiest soft pretzels this summer.  With a cool glass of lemonade on the porch, it’s a snack the neighborhood boys can’t say no to :-)

Since the baby had the duty of helping me grocery shop during the school year, I’ve been dragging John along this summer.  Life skills… or maybe just because the littles are so darn easy when split up.  He begged for this Fleischmann’s mix so we threw it in the buggy to try on a rainy day.  They DO take a while to make, but are so worth it!!  We’ve been doing half with just salt, and the other half we drizzle with honey and sprinkle generously with a cinnamon and sugar mixture.  The sweet ones are just like Mellow Mushroom.  I keep meaning to pick up stuff to try and copy their savory version.
