Soft, chewy, and rolled in a buttery cinnamon sugar coating, these pretzel bites are the kind of snack that disappears the moment they hit the table. The dough comes together with just flour, yeast, water, salt, and a little melted butter ā nothing complicated, nothing hidden. That quick dip in a baking soda bath is the secret behind the signature chewy crust and deep golden color you'd expect from a proper pretzel. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, packaged snack foods and bakery treats can be a minefield of shared equipment warnings, but this recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward with a short, clean ingredient list. Every component is something you likely already have in your pantry, and none of it comes anywhere near hazelnuts or other tree nuts. Brushing the hot bites with melted butter right out of the oven and tossing them in cinnamon sugar while they're still warm is the move that makes these truly irresistible. Serve them fresh for the best texture, though they're honestly pretty great at room temperature too.
