After you’re done enjoying this recipe try my White Chocolate Chip Cookies with Caramel and Pretzels, Salted Caramel Pretzel Mini Cheesecakes, and 3 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Hearts. The second or third best thing ever happened yesterday. Remember that trip we took to the Outer Banks back in March? If you do then you probably remember those donuts I rambled on and on and onnnn about for days. In fact if you’re following my Instagram feed then you probably drooled over the pictures too. These are no ordinary donuts people. They are made-to-order. Let me repeat that… they are made. to. order. As in, freshly fried in front of your very eyes and then dipped in the frosting(s) of your choice and topped with sprinkles, coconut flakes, or anything else your little heart desires. So back in March I was introduced to Duck Donuts, the makers of these dreamy donuts and until yesterday I thought the only way I would ever get to experience the greatness of Duck Donuts ever again would be to make a trip back to North Carolina. But yesterday all of my dreams came true. Turns out there is a Duck Donuts in Virginia, and it is in Williamsburg. Do you know where I am spending this, (my birthday) weekend?? Williamsburg Virginia. It is fate. Absolutely positively fate. Yesterday was one maple-chocolate and one strawberry-orange with sprinkles. Both=heaven on earth. Today’s made-to-order donuts are yet to be decided. But these pumpkin pretzels are on my mind so I’m thinking vanilla-frosted dipped in cinnamon sugar. Yes? Yes. Done. These pumpkin pretzels are made from scratch but DO NOT let that scare you away. They honestly take 30 minutes of prep, that’s it. They are incredibly easy and so unbelievably yummy. They are pumpkin, so naturally they are already a winner. But then you dip them in cinnamon and sugar. What?? Yes. And then! Some frosting. Of course. 🙂
