Is this the greatest snack food of all time? I’d be hard-pressed to think of anything that made me drool more uncontrollably when I first heard about it than Pretzelmaker’s new Cheetos Pretzel Bites. And then I saw the picture, which basically turned my mouth into Niagara Falls.
The snack is pretty simple: it’s a Pretzelmaker pretzel bite, covered in Cheetos dust. And then you eat it. And then you eat another one. You get it. You know how this works.
And if you want, you can dip it in one of Pretzelmaker’s dipping sauces. I believe the picture above has a side of Cheddar Cheese, which seems like a dangerous amount of cheese. But there are other options including pizza sauce, cream cheese, honey mustard, nacho cheese, vanilla glaze, or caramel sauce. The last two seem like they might not pair well with Cheetos Pretzel Bites, but I’m not your mom, so do whatever you want.
The chain also recommends pairing the Cheetos Pretzel Bites with their new strawberry lemonade, which sounds like a delightful combo. They’ve also got regular lemonade, raspberry lemonade, limeade, cherry limeade, and three frozen lemonades… Regular, strawberry, and raspberry. Plus smoothies and other beverages, but this isn’t the Pretzelmaker menu, it’s just an article about Cheetos Pretzel Bites, so go find that info yourself. I’m not your mom.
That said, I do want to point out one additional bit of info that blew my mind a little bit, one of those things I feel like I should have known by whole life, but never thought to ask. Per the PR provided to Guilty Eats, the pretzel bites are covered with “Cheetle.” What is Cheetle? In the Cheetos website FAQ, they plainly lay it out:
“The delicious dust that covers your fingers while eating Cheetos. Lick it off or wear your Cheetle.”
Legit had no idea that was a thing, but now I’m going to pull out that particular fact at every party from now until I die, which should be very soon based on the amount of Cheetos Pretzel Bites I’ll be eating in the near future.
The Pretzelmaker Cheetos Pretzel Bites are only available until September 29, so head to your local location to snag them quick! Or not. I’m not your mom.
