• In a medium saucepan, bring ½ cup (120 ml) of beer to a simmer.

• NOTE: You can pick up and twist the top of the dough to make sure everything is more secure.
• Bring five cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. When you've finished putting together your pretzel bites, add the baking soda to the water and immediately scoop in your pretzel bites. Boil for 20-30 seconds,
• Take out and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Gradually whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth, then add the half-and-half. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
