| In 1888, H. K. Anderson started a storefront bakery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Every day, customers would show up for fresh, hand-twisted pretzels baked in brick ovens.
More recently, the company has put a nice spin on its line of pretzels.
In additional to the familiar, thin Salty Stix, there are Honey Wheat Braids in better-for-you whole wheat, Peanut Butter Nuggets and Double Baked Butter Balls—a joy for butter lovers.
Read the full review of H.K. Anderson Pretzels, which includes new ways to serve pretzels.
You’ll also find the history of the crunchy snack—created in 610 C.E. by a European monk to bribe children into memorizing their prayers.

No cocoa? Mix milk with fudge sauce.

If that jar of fudge sauce (a.k.a. chocolate sauce or hot fudge sauce) has been sitting on the shelf because you’re not into ice cream sundaes, how about turning it into hot chocolate, a milkshake or some mocha coffee?
For hot chocolate, just place two spoonfuls of fudge sauce in a mug of milk. Microwave for two minutes, stir (a mini whisk is best for mixing) and enjoy.
Add two spoonfuls to a milkshake (with or without ice cream), and a small spoonful to a cup of coffee.
If you have any fudge sauce left, use it:
- As spoon candy—dip a spoon in and enjoy your chocolate fix
- Drizzle over plain cake (angel-food cake, pound cake, cheesecake) with an optional garnish of berries and whipped cream
- Make fondue: dip bananas, apples, orange segments, pineapple, strawberries, pretzels, cookies and cake chunks
|
| We find that microwaving the jar for 15 seconds at room temperature or 30 seconds from the fridge does the trick.
