Pretzels are a delicious comfort food in their own right, but with a bit of creativity, they can be turned into other delicious comfort foods, too. Take our Pretzel Breadcrumb Mac 'n Cheese, for example. This recipe puts those pretzel leftovers to good use (although, if you're anything like us, there aren't usually any pretzels leftover).
