Notes
We like this paired with SUPERPRETZEL Soft Pretzel Bites. Prepare them according to package instructions.
As pictured I had prepared this for my 2½ year old daughter, so I did not add the optional crushed red pepper flakes.
Can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute or so.
