If you've never had Auntie Anne's Pretzel Nuggets, you are missing out. They're buttery and salty with a perfectly chewy consistency. Once your hand hits the bottom of the cup of nuggets, disappointment inevitably sets in. As if the original nuggets weren't blissful enough, Auntie Anne's is debuting a new flavor next week that might best the original.
Beginning next Monday, October 22, Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets will be available at Auntie Anne's locations across the country. The festive flavor is the winner of Auntie Anne's second Pretzel Nation Creation contest. The contest allowed the brand's fans to vote for the next pretzel flavor—one that would be birthday-inspired to celebrate Auntie Anne's 30th birthday. Naturally, Birthday Cake won, beating out Caramel Apple Crème Brûlée by only 662 votes.
According to a press release, the Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets are dusted with vanilla and drizzled with chocolate syrup. The pretzel bites are then topped with confetti sprinkles, which makes them all the more 'grammable. Auntie Anne's says, "Whether for a birthday celebration or just a special treat, these nuggets are a snack that anyone with a sweet tooth can enjoy."
The Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets will be available for a limited time starting next week, so get to your local Auntie Anne's soon. I have high expectations for these festive nuggets—Birthday Cake beat out flavors such as Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet Cheesecake, and Tiramisu, so you know the flavor must be a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
