Easy to Make Pretzels with Auntie Anne’s At-Home Baking Kit

My friends over at The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television recently sent me an Auntie Anne’s At-Home Baking Kit to review. Little did they know just how much my kids love Auntie Anne’s pretzels. It’s their #1 request when we are at Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie.

My boys love fresh warm soft pretzels. They also love art projects. So they were pretty excited when they heard they could combine two of their favorite things with this baking kit.

I Can’t Stop Thinking About Her.
