All Twisted Up Hot Pretzel Party
Friday, June 11, 2021
The last 15 months have had us all feeling twisted up much like the beloved hot pretzel! These deliciously doughy, chewy, perfectly salted snacks are an American favorite at home and theme parks. We will enjoy customizing a hot pretzel to show that we do have the power to change anything we want in our life to make it sweet when we feel a little loopy. Just because we get twisted up in life does not mean we have to remain that way (Life Coaching Lesson snuck in is on Growth Mindset). Kids can alter their hot pretzel with toppings like: cotton candy bits, chocolate, butterscotch, vanilla icing, etc. While we enjoy our wacky customized treat, kids will become hot pretzel experts on this booming 500-million-dollar business.
