Cheese + crackers = my ultimate comfort food. Sometimes I like to imagine a cheese & cracker (or pretzel!) cleanse where all you eat is CHEESE AND CRACKERS. Can you imagine? SIGN ME UP. In an effort to make snack time fun for me and Cooper, I made up this little combination. A pretzel stick makes for a very nice edible toothpick, don’t you think? For some reason poking something with a pretzel stick makes me eat less pretzels. I’d say that that’s a step in the right direction because #pretzelsaremygatewaydrug. Spear a little cube of cheddar with a pretzel stick. GO ON. DO IT.
Cheddar + Pretzel Sticks
Not only is it cute but will satisfy those hunger pains before lunch. My little girls will love em!
Maybe less pretzels, but every time I used pretzels to dip in pimiento cheese or another dip I eat way more cheese because I just lick it off and double dip.
Great idea – putting this in my arsenal for future snack times. Now I’m wondering how easy it is to stick a pretzel in a tomato, for Caprese sticks. Hmmm, something to try. = )

Pretzels are my gateway drug, too. Also, tortilla chips because you can’t just eat them plain. I enjoy this new snack segment of yours!
This is already my movie night snack. It’s especially good during dramas because when the intensity is up it’s stab-snack, stab-snack, stab-snack and it’s awesome. It’s however not so awesome during a horror movie because I once jumped and sent pretzel sticks and cheese flying everywhere! My dogs ate all the cheese but I’m still finding pretzel sticks.

Another good pretzel snack is dipping pretzels in chocolate pudding. You can forgo the spoon too!
My kids would LOVE this! Pretzels and cheese are going on the grocery list 🙂

This is TOTALLY a “why haven’t I thought of that” snack! I’ll have to remember this one when my taste buds are craving salty + cheese!
I love these snacking posts, so simple and tasty! It’s great to see what others munch on! PS – I could do a cheese + cracker cleanse for months!
I also love to wrap lunch meat slices around cheese sticks. Ham and cheddar and salami and mozzarella are especially delicious combos!
