Sometimes, a plain soft pretzel is all you need. Especially when they are fresh from the oven.
Sometimes, a plain soft pretzel dipped into the last of a bowl of soup is perfection.
And sometimes, you just need something delicious to dip your pretzel into. Something like this garlic cheddar dip.

perhaps i should dip apples into this goodness?
I bet it would taste a lot like dipping apples in cheese fondue! YUM!
That looks perfect Julie!! Now I’m just waiting for that cream cheese icing……
I could eat a whole load of that dip…especially with soft pretzels. You could outdo any of those shops in the mall.
My mouth is watering! lol I really need to make some pretzels this weekend!!!! :0)
ahhh, looks so good!!! now i want to make soft pretzels AND this cheese dip!
Hey Julie. This dip looks so good, I can taste it already. Maybe it wasn’t smart of me to find your blog when I was hungry.
I’ll put your cheddar soft pretzel dip on my “have to make this week” list.
Welcome, and I hope you enjoy!
Possibly a stupid question but is this recipe still good at room temp/cold? Or does the cheese reharden? Im looking for pretzel dip ideas for a picnic so heat is out of the question.
Room temperature or a little warmer is fine, but I think it would get too hard if it was cold!
