Soft, chewy, and rolled in a buttery cinnamon sugar coating, these little bites deliver everything you love about a classic pretzel with a sweet, snackable twist. The dough comes together with just flour, yeast, salt, butter, and water ā nothing hidden, nothing complicated, and absolutely no mustard or mustard-derived ingredients anywhere in the recipe. That matters more than you might think, since mustard can sneak into unexpected savory snacks and spice blends at the store. Here, the only seasoning is warm cinnamon and sweet sugar, so you can snack freely without scanning every label. The baking soda bath is the secret to that signature chewy crust and deep golden color, giving these bites an authentic pretzel texture without any specialty ingredients. Brushing them with melted butter straight out of the oven helps the cinnamon sugar cling to every surface, making each bite genuinely irresistible. They're best served warm, but honestly they rarely last long enough to cool down anyway.
