Toppings
After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt. Or for Auntie Anne famous cinnamon sugar, try melting a stick of butter
in a shallow bowl big enough to fit the entire pretzel and in another bowl, make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. dip the pretzel into the
butter, coating both sides generously. then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.
