I don't know what this is, but it is not a pretzel!! Something very wrong with this recipe.

I have the original recipe from the magazine, and there is definitely a typo in the posted recipe. It is only 2 Tbsp butter, not 2 cups. Made using the correct measurements, these pretzels are absolutely delicious. My kids and all guests I have served them to inhale them. :)

This was simply awful! Somebody somewhere screwed up something. Previous rater said they would use half the butter - yeah! These things ended up sitting in 1/4" of bubbling butter and taste like a buttery salty mess. If you can't trust a recipe, why bother. Avoid this one like the plague.

the recipe seems that it needs a lot more flour than called for. i couldn't bring it to a dough consistency, its just a sticky mess. the kids had a great time though and they enjoyed eating them. also, next time i would only do about half the butter.
