Speaking of pretzels, this classic snack is also a sweet and savory option in of itself. At least, the pastry kind that is. Baked pretzels are bread-like pastries that are ultimately salty in taste. However, that may change depending on what you dip your pretzel into. Because although it's salty, it becomes quite the sweet stuff when you dip it into salted caramel or melted chocolate. Not to mention peanut butter as well. But if you want it savory, a nice cheddar cheese dip or sour cream will totally hit the spot. Ultimately, for your own pleasure, you can use all of these dips at the same time!
