#3648 - Easy Soft Pretzel Nuggets

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 - 11oz. can Pillsbury refrigerated breadstick dough
1 beaten egg
kosher (coarse) salt
1 - 15oz. jar Cheez Whiz
2 TBSP milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll and separate the dough into 12 breadsticks. Brush the beaten egg over the top of each breadstick, then sprinkle the kosher salt over the tops. Use a sharp knife to cut all of the breadstick dough into pretzel nuggets shapes and place them on greased cookie sheets (not too close together). Bake at 375 degrees 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. While they are baking, scoop out about 1/3 of the Cheez Whiz (about 5oz.) into a bowl and add the milk. Microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until hot/melted/smooth. Serve the warm pretzel nuggets with the melted cheese.
