'Schlotzky's' teamed up with 'Auntie Anne's' to release a line of dippable pretzel rolls. With fall in full swing, many restaurants have been debuting sweet pumpkin-themed menu items. This dish offers a tasty alternative for those who prefer salty over sweet.

The new 'Pretzel Dippers' consist of various sandwiches served with dipping sauce on the side. The sandwiches are served on a [soft pretzel roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-pretzel-charcuterie-box), which is perfectly shaped for dipping. The rolls are available in four different varieties and each comes with a unique dipping sauce. For example, the 'Hogfather' sandwich is served with a 'Bold Marinara' sauce, while the 'Ham Dunk' comes with a tangy 'Brewhaus Cheese' sauce.

The salty sandwich rolls are available at all [Schlotzsky's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-harvest-lineup) restaurants until December 27th.
