Homemade Blue Cheese Mini Pretzels

Are you ready to give your much-loved pretzels a modern twist? If so, let’s make them with blue cheese!
They’re also delicious with Brie, Camembert, or Roquefort and make a fantastic addition to any cheese or appetizer platter. They’re also perfect as a snack between meals or as a holiday treat.
For this recipe, I’ve used a pretzel cookie cutter to significantly shorten the preparation time, but you can also shape the pretzels by hand.
Enjoy!
