Pretzels have been a popular snack in Germany for centuries, with the first recorded mention of them dating back to 1111. They were originally made by monks as a reward for children who learned their prayers. Over time, pretzels became a staple snack in Germany and eventually made their way to America, where they gained even more popularity. Today, pretzel bites are a common snack or appetizer, and can be found at sporting events, fairs, and parties.
