Pis forPretzel

Pretzels are a baked snack dating back to Medieval European times. Today, pretzels come in many shapes and sizes, from small hard ones to big soft ones. Most pretzels are glazed to make them shiny and sprinkled with salt. Pretzels are said to be in the shape of arms praying, and are popular at Easter time.
