Auntie Anne's recently expanded its menu to include a new bite-sized option called Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Nuggets. In recent years, a number of fast food restaurants have introduced smaller dishes that are easy to share. This dish puts a tasty twist on sharable snacks by combining the Auntie Anne's iconic soft pretzels with cheese and bacon.
The new Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Nuggets consist of hand-rolled pretzels that have been filled with cheddar cheese and strips of bacon. Unlike the chain's original pretzels, the new nuggets are small in size, which makes them easy to share with others. The bite-sized pieces are also ideal for on-the-go snacking, which has become extremely popular among consumers.
The new dish is available from now until September at all Auntie Anne's locations.
