Pretzel Facts for Kids

It is believed that pretzels are the world’s oldest snack food.

History says its origin dates back to 610 AD when an Italian Monk used dough left over from baking bread to make pretzels.  He folded the dough over to make it look like children’s arms folded to pray.  He rewarded children with pretzels for remembering their prayers.
