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.
Garlic Cheddar Soft Pretzel Dip
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cup cheddar
1 tablespoon Garlic Gold nuggets or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly.
Whisk in the milk. Cover and bring to a simmer.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, garlic and pepper flakes until the cheese is completely melted. Serve with fresh soft pretzels!

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.
