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). 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups breadcrumbs made from any leftover Eastern Standard Provisions pretzels (See instructions below)
• Our Truffle Hot Sauce (optional)
• Any Eastern Standard Provisions flavored pretzel salt
• 3.5 cups of your favorite macaroni and cheese 
• 1 tbsp. parmesan
• 2 tbsp. butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
