Monday, April 26 is National Pretzel Day. But you can get a head start on the celebration by ordering up a brand new creation from Milwaukee Pretzel Company, either for yourself or a pretzel lover in your life.
"The World's Best Beast" a one-pound Bavarian Beast soft pretzel served up with a slew of 14 sweet toppings that you can use to create your own customized sweet beast ($20).
The over-the-top creation took inspiration from the Pretzel Day episode of “The Office” in which Michael Scott orders up a soft pretzel with ALL the toppings.
“We try not to take ourselves too seriously,” says Milwaukee Pretzel Co. co-owner Matt Wessel, “So the World’s Best Beast is just meant to be a ton of fun.”
Every World’s Best Beast includes a custom "The Office" inspired Pretzel Day box, plus all the toppings you need to bejewel your beast in whatever fashion you choose.
The list of toppings includes:
- Caramel sauce
- Chocolate chips
- Cinnamon sugar
- Cotton candy
- Fudge sauce
- M&Ms
- Marshmallows
- Mint chips
- Oreos
- Pretzel salt
- Shredded coconut
