Personal Pretzels
Get creative! Not only can you twist these pretzels into your initials or a heart-shape but you can sprinkle different spices on the outside.
Try a cinnamon pretzel or an exotic cardamon pretzel. Parmesan cheese, toasted onion or bacon bits sprinkled on top and pressed into the dough would be tasty as well.
Pretzel initials make a great party favor. Put the person's initials down on their plate as an edible place card.
