Becoming a KC Pretzel Girl
This balloon was delicious with some cheddar cheese
I recently hung out with KC Pretzel Boy's for their One Year Anniversary! Congrats guys, woohoo! I got a tour of the shop, a lesson on pretzel twisting and of course some delicious snacks along the way.
QUICK FACT!
Did you know that they make their pretzels “Philadelphia Style” in order to fit more on the pan? These are longer, stretched-out pretzel twists.
When I stepped into the shop and checked out their menu, I was excited that they have pretzel "nuggets" and pretzel "pups" - THE NAMES ARE TOO CUTE! Pups are miniature pretzel dogs (get it?! haaa).
Next my eyes landed on the dip options.
The cheese that goes on my pretzel is just as important as the pretzel itself. Pretzel Boy's offers cheddar cheese, white American cheese and jalapeno cheese dip! Such an awesome selection. I tried each of them maaaany times...

What's crazy for me, because I usually don't have a sweet tooth, is that my favorite item was definitely the cinnamon softie with vanilla icing! It was absolutely to die for. Gosh, I am definitely craving one right now...
Next, we got to learn about the process of making a pretzel. Now I won't go into detail here, as it's a company secret (jk, I just don't remember all of it..) but I will tell you that there's salt involved and I highly approve of that.
Though KC Pretzel Boy's is willing to make ANY shape (almost), we were challenged with the task of making their signature Philadelphia style softie.
After about a billion tries... I learned I am not a natural. However, I got it correct ONE TIME! My life is complete! I love trying new things.
I was extremely happy to have raised my hand at the right time, because I had the honor of taking home the winking emoji pretzel that they baked in front of us. It was GIANT. Take a look below at my lil head poppin out from a giant pretzel.
