Super Bowl...of Snacks. Part 3: Soft Pretzels


The Super Bowl…of Snacks.

Part 3: Soft Pretzels 

I came. 
I saw.  
I left at half time to come home, get into my PJ's and write a post about my final super bowl snack recipe.

I made soft pretzels this morning. Had two for breakfast (to make sure they tasted good). This recipe takes  a bit more skill and patience than the other two Fun to make, tasty, and surely no one else will bring pretzels!

Super Bowl Snacks - Part 2 (Homemade Velveeta)

The Super Bowl…of Snacks.

Part 2: Homemade Velveeta.

Like I said before, I don’t really care too much about the Super Bowl. Honestly, I don’t even understand football. However, I do like Super Bowl Parties. Beyond catching up with friends it is a great time to try out exotic new potato chip flavors or consume mass quantities of queso with wild abandon.

This recipe is a gem. You know you love Velveeta! It’s one of the best processed foods of all times ranking up there with Spam, Bologna, and Cheetos. I could name a few more but I am guessing someone would shame me for it. As they should.

Super Bowl...of Snacks - Part 1 (Homemade Summer Sausage)

I don’t really care about the Super Bowl. Honestly, I don’t even understand football. However, I do like Super Bowl Parties. It is usually the first opportunity to catch up with friends after the start of a new year. The one catch is that you have to come up with a sharable snack to bring. Oh…and, you have to pretend to watch football.

I will break this down into three posts: 
(1) Homemade summer sausage. 
(2) Homemade Velveeta. 
(3) Soft pretzels. 

All three recipes can be paired with other items to assemble a pretty quality party buffet contribution. They are man friendly, kid friendly, and minimize preservatives and additives that would be found in the traditional, grab-and-go versions.
