I love hot dogs, and when I am at the mall I longingly look at Auntie Anne's to see if they have any of their pretzel hotdogs for sale. They never do, as they aren't big sellers. In fact, they have a set order of things that they cook starting with pretzel bites and then full size pretzels and ending with pretzel hot dogs. So, they only make them if everything else is caught up. Which it never is.
Last time at the mall, I asked for one and they quoted me a 10-12 minute wait time for a fresh one. Tempting, but I passed as I had things to do.
But recently I went back and THEY HAD THEM in stock! The mall had just opened up and all of their pretzel items were full. I ordered it and paid my $6.27 (Yikes... next time I will read the menu first).
It was hot, salty, and delicious. Eating it out of the foil sack was tough without getting messy, but I managed. It was expensive though. I couldn't believe that it cost over $6. I can make a ton of them at home for that price. But, at least I finally had obtained "my precious".
I wish they were cheaper or had them in stock more often. read more
