Review: Auntie Anne's - Original Pretzel

Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel is a plain, fresh-baked soft pretzel spread with butter and sprinkled with pretzel salt. It's also available without butter and/or without salt.

I picked one up at the mall for $3.09.

While it may be too plain for some, the Original Pretzel is a favorite of mine. It can get a bit too salty when you get a bite with a lot of salt, so I usually brush a good amount of salt off or just get it without.

The great thing about getting a fresh-out-of-the-oven pretzel is that it has this nice, crispy thin crust rather than a soft, chewy skin. There's also a delectable hint of butter. The crumb is warm, soft, and dense with a bit of chew, and there's that expected pretzel aftertaste from the crust.

Overall, Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel is a well-made classic soft pretzel. It's simple but tasty. They make more interesting flavors, but there's something satisfying and very pleasant in having the traditional Original sometimes.
