On a recent visit to the mall, my mom mentioned getting Aunt Annies (or whatever they're called) and I started salivating. I remembered the delicious garlic and parmesean cheese pretzels and agreed.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The pretzel was warm and was definately garlic-y but it was not what I remember. Perhaps it's because I am older and can see above the counter, but after I saw the employee dip the pretzel in water (to get it sticky for the toppings) and then douse my treat with garlic powder out of a giant container I've also purchased from GFS, my only thought was "I could make this myself."
They do have a hot dog pretzel option now and I have to say it was excellent. It looked burnt as hell and like it might have been under a heat lamp for the better part of the day, but it was done perfectly and was the only thing worth the price they were charging.
Can't say I'll go back, but if I do, I won't get the Garlic pretzel and I will be getting a hot dog pretzel. read more
