I made it and it worked perfectly for the homemade pretzel bites. In fact…. it was wonderful and tasted just like Auntie Anne’s cheese sauce that they give you with their pretzels!
I know… this is hardly a real recipe, but it completely solves the problem of delicious creamy cheese sauce for your pretzels.
Now if you are going to make a big batch, I highly recommend a double boiler to melt your cheese. It will go much smoother and will melt more evenly. Trust me… I’ve learned from experience! I actually found several that are on sale on Amazon in case you don’t have one – you can check them out here.
Now we normally will make this dip in the double boiler, and then we like to keep it warm in a mini dipper crockpot. We just love them because it keeps the dip warm and smooth.

Then gradually whisk in the milk and cook uncovered until the mixture has thickened.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and then whisk in the cheddar cheese and salt. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

If the cheese sauce is too thick, add in more milk gradually until the cheese sauce is the consistency that you prefer. Â
