Cooking Steps
Spray tops of pretzel bites with water, then sprinkle with salt. (If desired, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake salted pretzel bites until warmed, 3 minutes.)
Heat cream sauce base in a small pot over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer and cook, whisking, until sauce begins to thicken, 1 minute. Reduce heat to low; slowly add in cheese, whisking constantly. Cook until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
RECIPE SUGGESTION: Want to jazz up your pretzel bites? After spraying with water, sprinkle with your favorite spices. We love everything bagel seasoning, granulated garlic, or chili-lime salt!

Reviews from our home cooks
The pretzels make a delicious snack with the white cheddar cheese sauce. The sauce can get really thick and hard to dip into, but it's very nice and the pretzels have a sweet undertone, but the salt and dip compliment them.
These pretzel bites were great after a brief run in the toaster oven and the cheese sauce was fast and easy, and tasted great. Next time I get these, I won't bother with the included salt because we ended up brushing it off. Really superior small meal.
Good salted pretzel bites. Way more cheese sauce than needed for the small package of pretzels, but I ordered more pretzel bites without cheese sauce the next week and it worked out well.
These Were A Drunk Snack. Excellent Baked Up, Use The Salt Sparingly... One Tip, Dip Pretzels Upside Down In A Ramekin Of Water To Moisten Them, And Salt Them Evenly.
I'm absolutely in LOVE with this snack! This was the best white cheddar sauce I've ever tasted before. It was restaurant quality! It reminded me of the fondue cheese you get at the Melting Pot restaurant. The white cheddar sauce was absolutely delicious! 😋 We LOVED this snack & need it offered more...please! 🙏🏻
The pretzels were AMAZING!! The cheese was a little stronger than I am used to, so I used it in moderation. Please keep these pretzels! White cheddar sauce is perfect now since they replaced the cooper cheese.
Pleasingly plump pretzel bites with a great, fast cheese sauce. Way more cheese than pretzels, but my husband liked it so much he finished the bowl with a spoon!
The pretzel bites were actually perfect! The best for at home bites I found. Loved the sauce, too. Wish there was more pretzel bites, though. It really was a 1-person serving.
This is good because I love pretzels, but I wouldn't say the white cheddar sauce is not the star in this snack. A beer cheese sauce would be really good, or even a gouda cheese sauce.
