Giant, Mozzarella Pretzels

Giant, Mozzarella Pretzels

These mozzarella pretzels are the BEST. I should know, I am the biggest fan of huge, soft pretzels. These massive, buttery pretzels outrank their crunchy, baked cousins in every possible way… except maybe standards of healthiness. No, these are not clean-eating pretzels that you got…
