Its all about the carbs.
In particular, the salt-dusted masterpieces thats as twisted as my stomach is during overtime: soft pretzels.
Although that recipe is foolproof and flavorful, I have to admit that its a bit fussy.
Thats longer than a college basketball game.
So I was thrilled to see thatTrader Joesadded a new player to their late-winter lineup:Soft Pretzel Twists.
What Are Trader Joes Soft Pretzel Twists?
Instead of being tied in the traditional knot shape, these soft pretzels are spiral sticks.
Theyre not nearly as pale, though.
At home, we suggest using a baking soda solution.
“German pretzel experts” are the masterminds behind the recipe, the Trader Joes team explains.
All in, this “recipe” takes less than 10 minutes to bring to the table.
The price: Just $3.49 for 6 twists.
At that rate, I can certainly afford to bring enough soft pretzels for the entire home team.
For mealtime, consider these instead of crostini or crackers as a carb companion forSlow-Cooker Cheddar SouporEasy Chili.
Any and all the ways, these twists are trophy-worthy.
Lucky enough to have leftovers?
Theyre standing ovation-worthy on a salad, bowl of soup, or crumbled atop mac and cheese.
