Auntie Annes Original Pretzel

The Original Pretzel - a timeless classic.

Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel is a fave among pretzel fans. With its perfectly balanced flavours, the classic pretzel boasts a golden-brown exterior and a soft, warm interior. Only one thing beats the smell of freshly baked pretzels: the taste. It was nice and simple, with a subtle saltiness to lift the overall taste. Unsure what to eat with an original pretzel? We recommend pairing it with one of Auntie Anne's delightful dipping sauces – cheese to keep it savoury or Nutella for a sweet 'n' salty twist.

Auntie Annes Pepperoni Pretzel

The Pepperoni Pretzel - a savoury sensation.

The Pepperoni Pretzel is the ideal choice for those craving a cheesy twist. Topped with melted cheese and spicy pepperoni slices, it packs a bold burst of flavour. The combination of the soft pretzel dough with the lip-tingling pepperoni leaves you craving more after every bite. It's an excellent option for those seeking a satisfying savoury snack.
