Sweet Pretzel Muffins

A favorite snack of mine and Christian's lately has been cheese and pretzels. While having this yummy snack Christian got an idea to make "Sweet Pretzels Muffins!" He said to me "All you have to do is get a plate and put some pretzels on it and pour water on it, stick in the fridge so they will get nice and cold and sweet!" He was so excited I could dampen his creative spirit even though it sounded disgusting. So he made the pretzels and he and Evan thought they were the best thing ever. They ate the entire plate and made some more... this time Christian was saving them for dinner. At dinner time he insisted that me and Dan try some of these delightful creations. Trying to be good parents we took a small piece and ate it. Soggy, slightly salt, mushy cold pretzel, um, yeah- it really was disgusting. All through dinner Christian wanted to discuss his new creation until Dan said "Hey buddy lets talk about something else now" because after tasting this little nugget of mushiness, discussing it made us both feel nauseous and our appetites were quickly slipping away. But Evan happily volunteered to help Christian eat the rest. The next day he made ANOTHER batch and saved them for Dan until he got home from work, then Dan told him even though he had tried them he didn't really care for them, and since then Christian has decided he does not like sweet pretzel muffins. This kid kills me :)



I mean come on, even though they were gross look how proud he was at what he came up with. So cute.
