Could this $11.49 freezer pretzel be your new go-to snack?

There’s a reason everyone’s talking about this latest snack sensation—and no, it’s not just because of its impressive size.

Found in the freezer aisle at Costco, Bauhaus Pretzels are making waves for being as tasty as they are massive.

These Bavarian-style soft pretzels come in a box of two, each weighing in at 24 ounces and packaged with its own salt packet—for just $11.49.

And while they look good in the box, they’re even better once baked.



Preparing your Bauhaus Pretzel is easy, but doing it right makes all the difference.

Start by thawing it overnight in the fridge—this ensures an evenly baked, soft interior that’s still crisp on the outside.

Once thawed, preheat your oven to 350°F and grab a large baking sheet—an 18x13-inch pan works best.

Brush the pretzel with water, sprinkle on the included salt, and bake for around 20 minutes until golden and fragrant.

You don’t always get what you see on the box—but with Bauhaus Pretzels, that’s not the case.

it’s worth pointing out that the pretzel matches the actual size of the product inside, calling it a rare find that lives up to its packaging.

One fan declared, “I would absolutely eat it by myself,” while another added, “Hide it from the family, in fact.”

“I would share, but I could definitely eat one to myself with some yummy vegan cheese dip or vegan mustard dip or even better both dips,” another excited fan chimed in.

With rave reviews like these, it’s clear this Costco freezer gem is more than just hype.

If you have a large air fryer, it can work just as well—but make sure the pretzel fits.

Once baked, the options are endless: slice and dip it, or turn it into a show-stopping sandwich.

However you serve it, the result is a satisfying treat that feels anything but ordinary.
