Ingredients:
Pretzel Bites
1/2 cup self-rising flour
3 packets natural no-calorie sweetener, divided
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp. baking soda
2 tsp. light butter
Dip
1/4 cup natural no-calorie powdered (confectioners) sweetener that measures like sugar
2 1/2 tsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 dash salt
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1 sweetener packet, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Add yogurt, and mix until dough forms. Evenly form dough into 8 nuggets, about 2 tbsp. each.
In a medium pot, combine 3 cups water with baking soda. Mix well. Bring to a low boil. Gently add 4 nuggets to the water, and let sit for 30 seconds. Carefully transfer the nuggets to the air fryer. Repeat with remaining nuggets.
Spray an air fryer with non-aerosol nonstick spray. Place nuggets in the air fryer, and spray them with nonstick spray.
Set air fryer to 370°F. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix remaining 2 sweetener packets with remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Brush dough with melted butter, and top with cinnamon sweetener.
Combine dip ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix to a glaze consistency. For a thinner consistency, add more milk.

HG Pretzel Tips!
Work the Dough Like a Pro. To prevent the dough from sticking, lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour. Before assembling the pretzel bites, refrigerate dough for at least 5 minutes. It’s even easier to work with if you make the dough a day in advance.No Air Fryer? No Problem. Bake your bites in the oven at 400ºF until light golden brown and cooked through, 14–16 minutes.
Change Up Your Dip. The light caramel dips you find stocked near the fruit are a great option. Wanna go chocolatey instead? Combine 2 tbsp. chocolate chips and 2 tbsp. milk (any kind) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 25 seconds, or until chocolate is melted, stirring halfway through. Mix until smooth.
