Pretzels no longer just come in knot shapes as food blogger the Vulgar Chef points out with blogger Yammie's cheddar bacon stuffed pretzel recipe. This delicious take on the traditional pretzel recipe kicks things up by stuffing the salty dough with gooey cheese and bacon bits.
If you love pretzels chances are you'll love the soft and chewy taste of pretzel buns.
